Title: New HxC Floppy Emulator copy utility for Amiga
Post by: gonk23 on February 28, 2016, 10:16:55 AM

Allows files on the HxC floppy emulator media (e.g. SD card formatted as FAT32) to be copied to the Amiga file system, without needing to use HFE files.

This is especially useful for copying files larger than 880kB (the Amiga floppy disk size).

For download, installation, limitations, and usage instructions, please see:

Even though the transfer speed is quite slow at the moment (slower than an actual floppy drive), it's still useful because it allows you to copy a whole folder of files in the background/overnight without interaction.

Of course, if you have a CF/SD hard disk then you don't need this, unless it's installed inside your machine and you don't readily have access to the media.

FYI, development thread is at: http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1853 (although the thread subject is misleading, it's not HxCmount for the Amiga).
