That`s the problem,

it isn`t possible to format a EII-disk on PC or Mac. It`s just possible with an EII.

  maybe I'm a moron, but I don't know what's the problem with DPX-1 
  and EMPX at all...

  is it possible to format a disk that will work on a Emulator II from 
  my pc?

  if Emulator II can read a floppy, the DXP-1 sample player will read 
  it as well...

  I "simply" need some disk formatted in emulator II format...
