Re: HxC Floppy Emulator

It's a nice project indeed! Not to mention it's the only way to have an internal floppy type of implementation to an Amiga 600 with A603+Indivision ECS :)

Some drawbacks are:
- Not being able to write but only read from images (for Amiga computers)
- Not native ADF support (have to convert every ADF to HFE through software)
- Not Alphabetical order in files (iirc it's based on creation timestamp)

You can easily mount an header in a designated part on the PCB where all the signals (for LCD panel + 3xButtons) exist, to mount it externaly wherever you want on the case (with a bit of hackery ofc)



Jeff made a firmware for Atari users being able to control the SD Emulator from the computer (without LCD screen) making it very nice without extra modding to the case.
Dunno if he will ever make a firmware that will support Amiga as well... but here's hopin' :)
