Can you talk about the SD card flashing process? I'm going to try to get this working with a Zorba 2000 but have no idea how to take a .Td0 (Teledisk image) and flash an SD card with it ...

See, the Zorba I have has no disks and I cannot find anyone willing to make me legit disks, so I'm hoping I can use this emulator to boot the darn thing with 1 real 1 emulated drive.

Anyone have any direction you could give me?

Hello I want to recreate floppy disk for my Osborne I computer (come without floppy)

I have a kryoflux with 5.25" PC floppy drive and some TD0 images
http://www.retroprograms.com/temp/Osborne_TD0_Disks.zip

I load OSB01_CPM_System.TD0 with HxCFloppyEmulator sofware but I can't export to IPF extension.
(no IPF file is created)

The export works with HFE extension but how write it on a floppy with my kryoflux ?

Should these tips/instructions also work with the new Artery based microprocessor GoTeks?
