I'll try again this weekend and walk through step by step.

Thanks!

So both A and B should work, independent of whether you connect the HxC to the DS0 or DS1 line of the EII. However during tests I did yesterday, the SD HxC is not recognized by my EII if I configure it as Drive B. I don't know why, but I have to set it to Drive A, no matter if I use the HxC as the first or as the second drive on my EII...

It appears that I have to run the HxC floppy emulator software and export a file to my SD card, but I'm not sure the settings. And I'm not sure how or if I'm supposed to create foldres on my computer, or after I get it into the HxC. Perhaps that's my issue, I don't have the right software on my card. I spent a good couple days trying to figure it out.

The only consequence of this choice seemed to be that I had of course to select the same "drive" on the SD HxC after booting the SD HxC (i.e. when the firmware asks on its display which drive to use, A or B, one should select the drive that was chosen on the J3 jumper, A or B)

I would like to set the floppy drive as the upper drive ( to copy all my library on the hxc ) but I don't know how to set the jumber on the floppy drive cause of the "twisted" cable...
