Re: SD Card instead of floppy

Wow, that's great.
You finished that project quite fast !

I'm wondering: you replaced the 5.25 "EII" drive on your DPX.
But as far as I understand the HxC emulator that you have built into the DPX uses the floppy disk format of the 3.5 "DPX" disks.
So did you disable the raw EII option on your DPX and can you only use emulated DPX disks now ? (e.g. by first transforming EII files to DPX format with DPXTOOLS and then saving them to your HxC disk) ?

I think we really would welcome this option on the EII itself too !
But note that the disk specifications of the EII are completely different from the DPX. That's why EII disks (either 3.5 or 5.25) can not be read or written on any PC or Mac, as opposed to DPX disks.
Do you think that the HxC can even overcome this problem ??
