Re: [emax] Anyone tried the HxC Floppy Emulator?

2012-06-05 by Scott Stanley

The SCSI card reader is far far faster in an Emax.  Sounds load almost
instantly.  The HXC is a great unit (I have 4 of them) but I would
personally suggest limiting them to units without SCSI.  I have 3 Emax's
with the SCSI card reader and slim floppy combo and I love it.  It gives me
the best of both worlds.

Really! Wow! The thing why I would prefer the floppy emulator is because I
think the cf kits for the Emax looks so bad. I am most interested in how it
will perform with the Casio FZ1 as well - got one of those too and I would
love to use the emulator for that one as well.

a new - much better designed - floppy emulator:
