HxC Floppy Emulator

[BooBoo1200]

You just need a pc floppy cable with 3 connector (1 connected to the A1200, 1 to the floppy disk drive, and the last one to the emulator.).

Will this definitely work on an A1200? You can have your internal Drive as DF0: and the HxC as DF0? - If it does this would make life a lot easyer

Having the HxC as DF1 is pointless

There is some info on EAB about building a switch so you can connect the HxC to the external port and switch between DF0 & DF1

Hi:
On saturday I received my HxC and I've made my own style clear enclosure. It's made to size and I changed the buttons it had and the ribbon cable connector and I put an angled one to avoid having to put more cables inside. For the buttons, as I said I've made 3 longs rods, and for the Sd an slot.
 
So it's closed, not as the one of fitzsteve. Do you like it?

Really nice job, congratulation!
I'm planning to use transprent plexi in my next project too.

I have just talk to Fitzteve and he has told me "...The irony is that now the ACA630 is comming out with a simple jumper switch to make external FDD (or the HxC) DF0 it would have done what I wanted and maybe I wouldn't have sold it "
I have to see if that's possible in the ACA 1230...

If you intend to use the file image selector software you just need the "next" button.
Connect this one on the front panel connector. (without removing the on-board buttons ;-) )

Hi:
Where the file image selector software is? I haven't seen it.
 
Oh, forget it, I've found it. I will install it. Thanks.

Then I tell you: you can use 3mm perspex one, but I woudn't do again at the rear part, as the cable is thick it will make preasure on it while moving, so you should use 4mm one, and you'll have to cut the plastic rubber of the cable where it plugs so it will let you introduce it, and you don't need to change the buttons. I've thought you can use the ones it has and use an small clear tube (or heat shink tube if you find black rods) to join them to the rods
