According to the specification sheet the HxC Floppy Emulator doesn't support writing for Amiga disks. With this in mind I could see a use for this for my other computers and maybe for installing things from floppy images onto hard drive on Amiga. Other than that...
I thought it was the USB one that connects to a PC that doesn't allow the write function...
From the spec sheet:
Here are the main features of the SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator:
Hardware/software specifications:
- 40Mhz PIC18F4525/PIC18F4620 based.
- Read/Write support:
Track mode based floppy emulator (Full track pre-encoded in the image file)
>Read support: Most of existing formats (FM/MFM/Amiga track...) supported. Custom tracks supported.
>Write support: ISO MFM 256/512/1024Bytes sector write supported.
Whereas this is the USB one which is NOT the device being offered on eBay:
Here are the main features of the USB HxC Floppy Emulator:
Hardware specification:
- Read only Floppy emulator (SD,DD,HD & ED mode)
- USB 1.1 device interface (based on the FTDI FT245.).
