    Lotharek SD – HXC Floppy Emulator REV C

    February 10, 2015, Posted in Third Party | No comments

    I have added a HXC Floppy Emulator to may Collection.

    It is very smart device, designed by Jean-François DEL NERO. It allows you to emulate any 34 pins floppy disk drive. The SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator can replace different kind of floppy disk drive and allows you use SDCard media instead of floppy disk. This emulator is actually used on Amiga, Atari, CPC, PC computers, different keyboards and samplers, CNC machine tool, and scientist instruments.

    To plug the item to the CPC i have bought this to items on ebay:

    • Amstrad CPC power cable for SD HxC floppy emulator & 3.5″ HD floppy disk drive
    • 34 pins Centronics with cable and multi-pin connector
