Re: [emax] What about an IPCAS USB to replace the floppy drives in our units?

2013-10-29 by jammie

it depends on which breaks down first the emax or the pcd

the slim floppy are ok cheap and floppy disks are still being made

but if you want a good working known floppy emulator then the hxc is the cheapest to get thats garanteed to work

  Silly Now that I have a PCD yes..but it's not guaranteed to work forever and there may come a day when we all need to replace it with something that does work for the long haul so better to experiment now and be prepared for the inevitable (PCD's NLA)

    they are the china made floppy emulators they buy them from china at £10 a pop then charge £200+ for them 

    and they dont work with the emaxes so dont bother and why would you want a floppy emulator when you have scsi it just seems silly

      Has anyone tried to use one of these to replace their floppy drive?
