Floppy emulator for 8 inch

Post by Nijboertje1976 »

Hello,

I'm looking for a diskdrive replacement. It concerns an 8 inch Shugart drive.
I think that the diskformat of this system is not standard.
77 tracks, 8 sectors per track.
A sector contains :
- preamble of 40 bytes
- sync , 2 bits
- data, 512 bytes
- CRC, 2 bytes

Can the HxC emulator (rev F?) handle this? Will it fit ?
And is it possible not to use an SD card, but a USB cable to a PC which sends the diskimages
to the device?

Thanks,
Collin
