OK I see, so I guess I do need them all accessible ;) But isn't there a retrofit for the HxC which can be placed directly inside the slot of the 5 1/4" drive, with a matching panel of the same size of the original drive? --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, Ryan Supak <ryansupak@...> wrote: > > The purpose of the buttons on the HxC interface is to page through the > various Disk Image files that are on the memory card.

Also, how do you create and name the different disk images which are on the SD card ? should you use some other machine such as a PC to create folder and gove them names ? or is it possible to do that all using the E-II system ? --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, "Gil" <gilwe@...> wrote: > > OK I see, so I guess I do need them all accessible ;) > > But isn't there a retrofit for the HxC which can be placed directly inside the slot of the 5 1/4" drive, with a matching panel of the same size of the original drive? > > > > > --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, Ryan Supak <ryansupak@> wrote: > > > > The purpose of the buttons on the HxC interface is to page through the > > various Disk Image files that are on the memory card.

Looks like it's in the works for Rev F though. I'm holding out until I can get this one, then I'll get a 3.5 to 5.25 bay adapter. That's the plan anyway. http://www.lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=42 > There's a PC utility you use to make the "raw files" into Disk Images.

It's my understanding this is the future iteration of the Rev C Hxc one currently sold. The picture shows the "third prototype", thus the missing D and E revisions. I just mailed Lotharek to confirm it will work the same with the EII - I'll report back when I hear. > Is it compatible with the E-II as much as the HxC? > > > --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, dblondin@... wrote: >> >> Looks like it's in the works for Rev F though.

I'm assuming the LCD is smaller since has to fit on the 3.5" drive bezel dimensions along with the card slot, buttons, etc. He just finished the fist batch of 200, you can check out the finished product here:On Mar 22, 2012, at 12:30 PM, James Ulibarri wrote:What size is that LCD?
