HxC Floppy Emulator

From CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!
The Floppy emulator, an alternative to a floppy drive

The HxC floppy emulator designed by Jeff (Jean-Francois Del Nero) as an alternative way to load programs on the CPC.

The floppy emulator is an interface card that connects a PC directly to the floppy controller of the CPC.

The PC is connected to the HxC via a standard USB cable. A program is loaded on the PC that feeds the controller with disc information.

The HxC firmware for Gotek supports the On-Screen-Display / OSD video output. Source

You can select images and see the floppy emulator status on the machine’s screen without any additional software or LCD/OLED screen !

No need to make holes in the machine case anymore ;)
