It is a VG 8235/00.īetter try the SD/MMC reader from Padial or Synfox (don't know if there are more options in this kind of hard). I have also read conflicting information about whether the 8235 can read larger than 360k floppies - I do not want to write to the disk images, just read them. I just need to confirm if this will work and load games correctly (from the second drive) and useful commands to access the external HXC Floppy Drive and list a contents of a disk directory and load a game for it. They now sell an external version of the HXC Drive: Īnd it can be powered using this: and this PS.Thank you for the information, but I would prefer to keep the original drive in the MSX and use the HCX Floppy Drive external using the external floppy connector on the MSX if that is possible. What is missing so far is direct support of Oric DSK format, but as I said this will be changed soon. I follow closely FlashFloppy from the very beginning and can say honestly - IMHO it's the best solution! The only code which is used from HxC is the free library, so FlashFloppy can support HFE format. Of course together with this started many opportunists to sell on eBay Goteks with FlashFloppy firmware asking for prices 5x and more! Meanwhile Hervé Messinger released his Cortex Amiga Floppy Emulator - closed source but for free! This firmware works fine but is limited only to Amiga ADF format.Īt end Keirf released full open source firmware for Gotek emulators - being open source many developers helped in bugfixing, improvements and creating mods. And Jean-François DEL NERO started to sell closed source firmware for Gotek. Then Gotek was released as another cheap replacement for floppy drives, but its firmware was very limited, difficult to use. The author released free as open source a library and a tool to convert different already existing image formats to HFE.

IMO, so far the FF-firmware doesn't support Oric DSK file format, but this will be changed soon. set as B drive only then you need crossed cable and "trial-and-error" setup procedure. # default: native unless overridden by HxC-compat-mode configĪbout the 2 drive configuration - if both drives allow to be set to any number then simply use straight cable and set the jumpers. # indexed: Navigate through DSKA0000, DSKA0001. # native: Navigate through all valid images/dirs # Navigation mode for selecting images/slots # Disk image loaded or ejected at startup?
