E0X
(ver 2002.6.30)
Abandoned Freeware


Older floppy disks were sometimes archived 
as disk images.  When you were ready to use 
the software, you insterted the appropriate 
blank floppy disk, and a copy of the original 
diskette was created.  

Unfortunately, 3 1/2" floppy disk drives are 
difficult to find, and 5 1/4" floppy disk 
drives (and media) virtually impossible.  If 
you try to extract the archived IMG file onto 
a different type of diskette media (say a 
1.44mb 3 1/2" diskette instead of the expected 
360k 5 1/2" diskette), the process will fail.


E0X is a floppy drive emulator from germany.  
It allows you to extract diskette IMG files to 
XMS memory, where you can then manipulate them 
as if they were on a real floppy diskette in 
your drive A: or B:.  Because the software 
thinks it is on real media, you can even run 
the software's installation program.  E0X is 
-NOT- a TSR, and it supports disk changing.
