Re: USB floppy emulator for the EII.

I think they will succeed.

Here's the latest quote from Jeff, the guy behind the HxC (see HxC forum):

"EII support is on the way. The encoding scheme used by the EII is FM.
Almost all the track format is now know thanks to the KryoFlux team Wink (sync, sector id , data ,crc...)"

KryoFlux reverse engineered the disk format by disassembling and investigating the Debug ROM of the EII (which contains code to format, read and write EII disk tracks). A member of this Yahoo group and eiiiforum triggered the HxC team to start up this EII work (thanks wintermute!).

After the HxC team has succeeded in upgrading their device for the EII, I also hope someone will succeed in adapting the device in a way that it fits nicely in a 5.25 replacement bay, with the LCD display and buttons on the front panel. A bit like the custom built one in the DPX shown on youtube:
