Feb 1, 2019 - Today the HxC Floppy Emulator is a well established floppy disk drive. Offers different floppy emulation hardware and software solutions:.

SD HxC Floppy Emulator Mechanical drawing (Rev B/C): Firmware: Please go to the Host control/File selector tool (Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Amiga): With the HxC File selector the host computer can access directly to the SDCard to select files images and change the SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator settings. The LCD screen and the buttons are becoming optional / useless. You can even remove the LCD screen to put the SD HxC Floppy Emulator inside the Amiga/Atari/CPC computer without case modification. Atari ST, Amstrad CPC and Amiga versions of this tool are currently available. Videos-demo of the HxC File Selector: Note: Please go to the USB HxC Floppy Emulator USB HxC Floppy Emulator hardware main features - Read only Floppy emulator (SD,DD,HD & ED mode) ( No Write Support! Download clarendon italic free.

) - USB 1.1 device interface (based on the.). - MFM, FM and GCR compatible (can handle custom encoding). - Bitrate between 63Kbits/s and 1MBits/s.(250 differents bitrates by step of 62.5ns). - Variable bitrate, flakey bits and long tracks, custom tracks support (emulation of copy protected floppies).

- Can emulate floppies up to 128 tracks. - 'jumper free' design: Device configuration done by software. - Flexible floppy interface: Shugart, IBM PC and Amiga compatible.

To see the list of computer tested with it, please go to this. All necessary informations to build your own USB HxC Floppy Emulator are available here. The main part of the USB HxC Floppy Emulator is a MAX EPM7128S CPLD from Altera with 128 Macrocell. This chip is connected to a 32KB SRAM memory buffer and a FT245 from FTDI for the USB communication. Warning: Do not disconnect the floppy ribbon while the USB is connected. This may damaged the emulator and your equipements.

Always disconnect the USB cable before connecting/disconnecting the Floppy ribbon. USB HxC Floppy Emulator's schematic USB HxC Floppy Emulator CPLD. The to use to program the CPLD is. To program this chip you can use Quartus II and an Altera compatible JTAG probe ( for example). The programmer software can be. Note: The EPM7128S CPLD can also be remplaced with the Atmel ATF1508AS. Once programmed the CPLD got this pinout -> There are four LEDs on the board: D1: Power LED.

D2: Select LED: Is on when the target computer acccess the floppy disk. D3: Step LED: Is on when the target computer is stepping/changing track. D4: Link LED: This is the USB link status: Is on when dialoging the host PC. The VHDL sources are available here. How to build the USB HxC Floppy Emulator? There are two differents USB HxC Floppy Emulator PCBs: - An 'homebrew' version (Rev B). This is a one layer 'Do It Yourself' PCB.

- A 'Production' version (Rev C). This is a two layers PCB. I recommend this version since it have a better layout. Regarding the features of the board there are no differences between these two boards. If you don't want build it, this board is also available to purchase. HxC Floppy Emulator software This software act as the floppy server with the USB HxC Floppy Emulator. This program also allows you to convert floppy file images for the SDCard based HxC Floppy Emulator.

Supports many input floppy image file formats: Notes: - Supported operating systems: -> Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Seven / 10. Serial number for winstep xtreme 15. - The USB HxC Floppy Emulator support is based on the.

If you have the USB HxC Floppy Emulator you must install this driver.
