It seems to me that the selector software is just an ordinary amiga program that boots from a default image, and not something that runs on the floppy emulator with overlay on the amiga display, like the UFE one - am I right? If so, is there anything preventing a more system conform gui based selector application to use from workbench? Some of us use our machines for more than gaming consoles, you know :)

The cooles thing would ofcourse be to have a device driver so that one can actually mount the SD card itself from AmigaOS as well.
Oh, and support for ISO files, I know - aint gonna happen, it's a floppy drive controller there after all :)

Wow cool, so there is direct access methods, meaning basically that all the crazy stuff I mentioned might be possible :)

Btw - how do I know what revision my HxC-SDs are? My two ones are from Lotharek, and they're red PCB, so perhaps Rev A?

Ah, so mines are rev B - good to know :)
Maybe you could quickly summarize the differences between the three revisions?

Eidt: OK, from reading a little (hohum) I see that the rev B needs modifications to have write support for amiga, while rev C doesn't. Does that mean that a modified B is identical with a rev C, or is there more? :)
