SWI does not state what the OS version is but you can tell on bootup. That's about three life times in computers.Д®dit: Based on when I think MX2 came out that it is a DOS 6.22 system. You may have trouble finding what you need, as DOS for all purposes has been gone for 15 years. In looking for an emulator, it must specify that it is for 16 bit DOS systems. The next problem is that DOS is only 16 bit and will not recognize a thumb drive as such. You have to be quick as the message only stays for a second or so. You will see during the boot process a message like 'Press F8 to access the BIOS' or similar. F1, F2, F8 and F11 have at various times been used. You can access the BIOS to check what's needed by pressing F8 or other special keys during the boot process. The size, type and location of data source is specified in the BIOS. This is called bootstraping as in picking yourself up by grabbing your boots. This provides the information as to where the DOS operating system is located along with instruction to begin loading the OS from that source. When a computer starts, after running the POST (Power On Self Test program), the address register is loaded with the address of the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The address of the sector along with where in the data stream that chunk fits in also written to the directory. The data stream has to be broken up into small chunks that can be written to a sector. The data has to be written to floppy by the OS. When data is erased from a disk, the data is not erased, only the directory entry marked as empty. This includes the directory and boot sectors. Formating refers to the action of generating the tracks and sectors so that DOS knows where stuff is located. Part of formating a disk and making it bootable is copying the DOS kernal to the boot sector.

The monitor says something along the lines of 'bootable disk not found'.ДЄny advice is appreciated, as I've not had any luck searching for a working USB conversion and would like to do a write up of what works if I can get it running.ДЄny advice is appreciated, as I've not had any luck searching for a working USB conversion and would like to do a write up of what works if I can get it running.Ah, yes, the DOS age. The data seems to write ok and look just like the floppy drive it's replacing,Д«ut the MX2 computer still won't boot off of this thumb drive when installed w the emulator. I then pasted them onto the thumb drive, which had been 'formatted' as a 720kb floppy. I also bought a USB floppy drive, and used it to read all the files off of the working MX2 floppy.

What happens when you 'make bootable'? Is this different than copying and pasting data onto a disk? I notice that when I check the 'make bootable' box, I see these files on the disk after formatting: exe file from Southwest does not recognize the thumb drive as a floppy.
