I have an old Japax ELVY Wire EDM machine and I am having difficulty loading the operating system from the floppy disks. I think the disks are worn out and I need some help.
Does anyone have one of these old machines and if so is it possible to duplicate the operating system onto a new floppy ?. I would be grateful for any help in understanding the old computer. It is an NEC FC9801 and the floppy disk drives are external. The system uses a very strange format and the disk drives run at 360rpm not the usual 300rpm of a modern PC.
Alternatively, I would like to do away with the floppies altogether and use an emulator such as a USB to floppy box. Has anyone done this conversion ?
