EMAX II Blank HFE

Post by j1mpst3r »

Hi,

Does anyone have a Blank HFE for EMAX II. ?

I've been saving smaller files to the supplied OS disk found in the EMAXII folder of the supplied "Quick Install Images". However if I want to save a larger file it produces an error at track 60.

So I'm thinking the OS is causing a problem and want to try writing the full 80 tracks on a genuine empty blank image.

Thanks

EDIT...

No worries, solved by overwriting existing HFE with no OS.

Turned out this was random and problem was not solved. I believe the issue was due to a long IDC Ribbon. Often, due to the Gotek being slightly smaller than a regular floppy, it can mean the original ribbon doesn't reach. In future I'll try to keep any extension as short as possible.
