Hi,
I am trying to use a Gotek HxC with my Electron. DFS seems to wrk, but ADFS gives me a headache.
Here is what I did:
- copied .ADL or .ADF files to HxCFloppyEmulator v2.1.8.0 (files attached)
- Export as DSKA000x.hfe to USB drive
The Gotek accesses the image, but fails with Disk error 50 after some time.
The I tried the following:
- create 3.5'' 640kB DSDD FAT12 from within software
- export to USB drive
- FORM 80 0 L on Electron
Now the Electron can access the image okay.
You will find the image DSKA0007.hfe attached.
I still can't succesfully convert ADFS files to HFE files.
Thanks,
Wolfgang
p.s.: I attached a 2nd file (DSKA0007b.zip) that contains a generated file on the DSKA0007 image

Re: Looking for help: ADFS on Acorn Electron
So DSKA0007.HFE image are working fine, but not the converted HFE ?
Can you try the attached HFE ?
Btw which firmware version are you using ? have you updated it to the last version ?

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, DSKA0007.HFE works, the converted does not.
To be sure, I updated my Gotek again with the current HXCFEUSB_V3_1_18_1a.UPD
Then I tried your images.
Both seem to work somewhat.
With _B version (smaller image), I can start some programs, but I get frequently disc errors.
The bigger image hasn't shown any problems yet.
May I ask what you changed?

Converted file should be fine now.
- I don't know which format use your 194KB ADL file you have. Any idea ?
- And : There is an new firmware version for the gotek :

This one allows you to use any file extension in indexed mode. This means that you can use the file without convert them. just name them DSKAXXXX.ADF/ADL/ADM/(or any extension you want)
Re: Looking for help: ADFS on Acorn Electron
It works. I tried .adm .adf and .adl images successfully.
Since I didn't have an .adl file, I created it with ADFS-Explorer and it worked okay.
You are amazing!
Thank you Jeff!
