Emax

Hello Gang,

I have an EMAX II and I was formatting a disk, after it was formatted,
I decided to play a song before I sampled a sound.  When I inserted an
Original EMAX II disk, it prompts "disk not formatted", hence any
other disk i pop in.

Is there a general reset or something?  Or is the drive dead?  If so,
where can I get a replacement, I'm pretty sure at my Mac dealer I can
get a Mac drive, legacy albeit, if so, please advise.

Paul

any ordinary pc floppy drive works. don't waste your money!

What about the drive having to start like in sector "0" or something?
 Cause a block from me is a computer surplus for PCs/

you have to make it ID 0. 

have a look in the back, or in the back of the logic board and find 
DS0 DS1 solder points (should be in DS1), and with a solder change it 
to DS0.

easy as a pie (you only need a minimun solder skill).
