If you can boot from floppy, have you tried formatting another floppy? Keep in mind, if you do not have DSDD (720Kb) floppy diskettes, only HD floppy Diskettes (1.44MB), that you must cover the hole (not the write protect hole, the other one). If the format fails, and you also cannot save banks, that sounds more like an hardware issue. Either the floppy drive is bad (bad head), or bad Floppy Controller IC. As to OS- if you have a Hard Disk, you must have an Hard Disk OS for the drive to work. What is the revision returned by going into Master> Special ? With a Hard Disk, you should be running either Emax HD OS 1.1, Emax HD SE OS 1.1 / Plus OS 1.0 (SE Only Emax).

I can boot from floppy and can format another floppy. The floppys i am using are the ones specified in the manual double sided. (Radio Shack) I was using the sliding write protect thing I will try taping off the other hole tonight thank you. my OS disk said emax OS 1.1 but i am not sure that it is the HD 1.1 because mine is an Emax HD retrofit. When I go to master I am not able to select "Special" the sticker on the master section says "Special" is peremiter 10 but the Emax will not accept a second digit while in Master mode. That is what makes me think that the OS is not correct for the HD I do not own a pc or a computer with a floppy drive. Is there somewhere where i can purchase the HD 1.1 os on a floppy online ? thank you for your help! im almost there! d --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, Ted Summers <djtbs1@...> wrote:

Use the data slider to change the menu choices. You have an HD os if you hit master, then 0, then use data slider and see if you have copy hd (plus OS this is #0), format hd (this is #7) So basically, write protect holes should be open (slider), density select (no slider for this hole) should be covered. True DSDD disks will not have a density select hole. Regards, Ted On Jul 15, 2009, at 4:56 PM, dmitri wrote: I can boot from floppy and can format another floppy.
