Emax HD SE Problem
Emax HD SE Problem
Hi!
Model: Emax HD Plus SE (HD removed by former owner)
OS: SE OS 1.1
Floppy Drive Emulator: http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=120
Saving doesn´t work. When I try I get the message "Disk Error!"
When I switch to original floppy disk drive it works without any problem.
So, any ideas? I cant´t figure it out myself and I am about to switch back to the old fashioned floppy drive permanently.

1 - Take the latest firmware version :

2 - Get a decent SD Card: A good Sandisk Class 10 SD is recommended.
3 - Are you using the right OS for this machine ? Have you made the OS HFE image from your own floppy disk, or did you get the image from the net ?

I have an Emax HD Plus SD but the hard drive is removed by someone who owned it before me. When using it with the original floppy disk drive it doesn't work with the HD SE OS, but it works like a charm with the SE OS. I guess it's because the hard drive is removed.3 - Are you using the right OS for this machine ? Have you made the OS HFE image from your own floppy disk, or did you get the image from the net ?
I've tried both with the HxC but none of them works.
I've found the OS here: https://nonaudio.wordpress.com/emulator ... x/emax-os/

Which one exactly ? Can you make a picture ?Fredrik J wrote:That's the SD card that I have.2 - Get a decent SD Card: A good Sandisk Class 10 SD is recommended.

Actually I did it the other way. I loaded the Emax with an image of the OS from your site and formatted a real floppy disk with it. It works with the original disk drive, but not with the HxC.Have you a working disk ? If yes can you make an image from it ?
Re: Emax HD SE Problem
Sorry, I didnt get the drive with that firmware, I've installed it myself.
Re: Emax HD SE Problem
Which is quite strange and interesting since this firmware is not shipped with the drive.Fredrik J wrote:Yes.Jeff wrote:

Where did you get the emulator ?
I suppose that you already tried these images ? :

Re: Emax HD SE Problem
Yes, sorry. I corrected myself while you were writing this post. Yes, I´ve seen the images. I bought the drive from Lotharek.Jeff wrote:Which is quite strange and interesting since this firmware is not shipped with the drive.Fredrik J wrote:Yes.Jeff wrote:

Re: Emax HD SE Problem
(Of course smaller capacity is fine too).

Re: Emax HD SE Problem
Ok, do you think the SD I have might be the problem?
Re: Emax HD SE Problem
This is possible. The write latency must be as small as possible. The Sandisk Ultra SD are not very fast with small write (always the case here). I recommend the Sandisk Extreme SDHCFredrik J wrote:Ok, do you think the SD I have might be the problem?
Re: Emax HD SE Problem
Yes, the SE OS in there is the one image I've been using and which is working perfectly well on my real floppy disks right now.Jeff wrote:Have you tried the emax images ?Fredrik J wrote: Yes, sorry.
