Variable bitrate and flakeys bits protection are now supported. > New software and CPLD core -> Full support of protected floppies image. Hard disk drive emulation done by the HxCMount driver. The HxC Floppy Emulator software is able to create an virtual FAT12 (Atari ST/ MS DOS) floppy disk containing files present in a PC folder.

Supported Computer/Hardwareĩ,10,11 and 18 (1.44MB) sectors/track format supported. If you have successfully tested the HxC Floppy Emulator with another hardware or if you want a new file/hardware support, don't hesitate to contact us. Note : Some computers/hardwares are probably missing in these lists. In the table below, you can find a preview list of supported machines and floppy file images.įor a more complete list, please visit the HxC Floppy Emulators compatibility table. An advanced firmware for the Gotek floppy emulators.įor more information about this firmware, go to the 'HxC Firmware for Gotek Floppy Emulator' part. A USB version which allows to connect the machine floppy disk drive interface to a PC with a USB cable.įor more information about this interface, go to the 'USB HxC Floppy Drive Emulator' part. A SD Card version emulating floppy disks from files images stored on a SD Card.įor more information about this interface, go to the 'SD HxC Floppy Drive Emulator' part.

The HxC project currently offers different floppy emulators and software solutions : Today the HxC Floppy Emulator is a well established floppy disk drive replacement solution present into the retro-computing, Music and industrial domains. The HxC Floppy Emulators support most existing floppy formats. The HxC Floppy emulators are designed to be very versatile and to support a large variety of computers / keyboards / samplers / CNC machines at a reasonable price. This electronic device emulate the floppy disk drive behavior and functionnalities. The HxC Floppy Emulator project main idea is to completely replace the floppy disk drive by an electronic device. See the showroom to have a preview of the currently supported machines.

It now supports hundreds of machines and floppy formats. The project have grown with the various support requests received during all these years. I personnally started this project in 2006 to revive my Atari ST and Amiga machines and to make them easier to use in the incoming world without floppy disks and floppy drives. An alternative to the floppy disks is needed for these machines to solve the availabilty and reliabity issues brought by this old support. Video games, Retro computing, Music, CNC machines (manufacturing/industrial process). Floppy disks have disappeared from the market many years ago, but surprisly the machines needed them still largely used in various domains :
