Can't write

Post by alexeilm »

Hi,

I have made standalone L'HxC Floppy Emulator version SDCARD for my Amiga 1200.
I used PIC18F4620 with "26/04/2009: Firmware SD HxCFloppyEmulator v0.0.4.3".

I can't write on "disk" anything.
Some programs use disk for save self state (for example: games).
I can't play games.

Why L'HxC Floppy Emulator can't to format or to write?

These are my "curved hands" or the error of device?

Thanks
Jeff

The write support works only on computer using ISO MFM sector format, this means all computers but the Amiga.
The Amiga uses its own format, and its write process can't be supported by the actual hardware (need addional memory chip-> too expensive).

maybe this will be possible later by adding this kind of device on the emulator :
