I'd also download that SD formatter, format those cards using that tool. but not bad to double check for any fluctuations or consistent voltage discrepancies. I know from hard experience that a voltage fluctuation (or abnormally low voltage) to the emulator will cause chaos - but given the symptoms you have described, I'm less inclined to believe this would be an issue. If you have access to, it would also be wise to test voltage of the connections to the floppy. Pull it out, make sure pin one goes to pin one on both sides.Įnsure the jumper is set to ID0, drive A. Meanwhile, the floppy cable you installed, if it's a simple 34 pin straight cable (with no intermediary connectors or twists in it) you should be able to connect pin 1 to pin 1 with a little bit of deduction on the system board and the emulator card. Do you still have the broken floppy drive? It very well might be the floppy controller. The reason I say this is because you bought a system with an unknown - the bloody floppy I/O. This guy has information on the actual floppy drive. If you can actually read a floppy, format one, write to it, you know you're in good shape at least from the system board standpoint. Install that drive - ensure that the system itself doesn't have a problem with the I/O bus. I know this is going to sound wee painful.įind yourself a proper replacement floppy drive. I see you were active on the HxC forum, how far did you get through the debugging steps therein? Jumper settings, etc? I had used it extensively when I had my HxC going in my Emulator 2. For the SD cards, I suggest downloading the SD card formatter for this, it makes easy work of proper partitioning and formatting of the cards.
