Greetings!
Well I've finally done with HxC installation. After some time of thinking do I really need it in addition to Mac setup I decided to speed up booting and OS response time and make it more reliable. This time I used production version of HxC floppy emulator (revB) but my DPX-1 still has own prototype installed. Sure, nothing could happen without E-Synthesist support and helping in preparing disk images. 

So, there are no problems from technical side, however HxC PCB layout is not very good for 5.25 mounting. You need the case, remote mounting for LCD, buttons and LEDs. 
For the case I used plastic blanking cover from PC. I don't know how to find the same but it's general idea. I tried metal covers also but using plastic one is simpler. Then new buttons, new LEDs and the part of IDE cable for LCD connection. That's it.

You see I'm not the mechanical engineer )))) Medium soldering skills are needed to complete this project. And you must be careful while sawing the plastic. 

Issues... some... may be only one. HxC floppy emulator has an option to boot the last image on power on. If this option is enabled then during power on EII informs you about wrong diskette. I think the problem is that EII inits faster than HxC completes image loading.
You just need to switch to another image and it will boot fine. E-Synthesist, do you have the same with HxC standalone?
