That would be great to have a user-definable boot up / autoload file. It would just need to load the image like normal, but on boot.

Really looking forward to this! Your mod is excellent, and I'm very curious what you did to move the screen so far away, and how you mounted it in an old floppy drive.
Now just rambling...
I think support for EFE files would be a bit tougher, because it's not really part of the disk image. Are there any utilities that can create an EDE disk image file from some EFE audio files? Is that all that is really needed? It's crazy to think, if we could go WAV -> EFE, and EFE->EDE, and EDE->HFE image...but again, an HFE image could be one or a collection of EFE files, right?
I am not familiar with EFE sound files at all, but I am thankful for the native EDE support. Thanks again.
So you removed the buttons, soldered wires where they were, and then used other buttons mounted further away.
For the screen, it looks like you found a ribbon cable that was almost the right size for the screen connector, split it in two, and then soldered the other end directly to the underside of the HxC board. Could you not find a connector to fit on that end?
Just received the fine cased cersion of SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator today. I managed to connect the cables, jump the jumpers and convert the OS disk img to hfe as well as to load the OS into EPS16+ (the rack version). Oh, it took some time (I guess there's no single instruction sheet/manual containing all of the steps above for the noob...), but finally the OS loads - and I'm so happy!
After that it's been just "DISK NOT FORMATTED" with each of the sound disk hfes. I've tried to alter some of the emulator (1.6.8.1) Load raw file format configuration settings to no avail. The screenshot shows the one used for the OS hfe (that seems to work).

Apologies for my noobness; do you mean the original format of the EPS16+ sound files on the actual floppies? Or perhaps which img type I used when creating the disk images in omnifloppy? For the both of those I need to double check them later, but I'd need help in clarifying the terms, sorry

ok you use a floppy disk dump.
Please use the integrated floppy disk dump tool instead of omniflop, this will be easier for you .
Thanks a plenty, Jeff! I'll try that out today evening and report back to you. The .img for the OS disk created w/ omnifop worked fine, but it's perhaps a different case w/t the sample disks.
Which floppy interface mode for the dumped floppy disk should I set to w/ EPS16+? Generic Shugart? This something I couldn't yet infer from the previous forum posts for certainty..

The OS loads, but the sound hfes (created w/ Floppy disk dump > export > hfe) return DISK NO FORMATTED when I first choose the hfe file on emulator, then press Load on EPS16+... What else should I double check?

The jumper setting. Where is the jumper ?
also post the HFE file here. (or send me the file by email)
