HxC Floppy Emulator on a frequency analyzer

Post by justme47 »

The specs of the HxC Floppy Emulator make me glad.

However can you help me to find out whether the emulator will work on my
analyzer as described below.

I use a "Dual Channel Real-Time Frequency Analizer Type 2144"
This analyzer is of 1995.
Inside is a floppy disk drive which has the same pin-out as a normal
pc floppy drive.
I have connected such a normal pc floppy drive, but this gave a drive error,
probably because pin 3 is not present on the pc floppy drive.
In the original FD pin 3 is present.

I can read the floppies, created wth the original FD, in my Windows XP PC

My goal is to replace the original FD with the HxC emulator.

Which additional info is necessary?
Do you think this will work?

Your help will be appreciated very much.

Regards, Gerhard

In the frequency analyzer is originally used the floppy drive CITIZEN OSDA-20G-U
No jumpers are present.
In the meantime I connected the HxC to the analyzer.
The file HXCSDFE.CFG is present on the sd card (FAT32 formatted)
The HxC is recognized by the analyzer; no error messages.
However the display of the HxC asks "choose a file" and the Analyzer
reports "no Disk present"
The analyzer expects normally a 1,4Mb dos floppy.
Probably something in the setup is missing but I donot know how to solve this.
Can you please give a hint?

regards, Gerhard

Thanks for your help!
With the tab Create FS Floppy a 1,44mb dos image was created and placed on the sd card. And it was accepted by the HxC!
Testing the HxC with this file on the frequency analyzer was successful!
So this item can be closed.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any of the program disk images they'd be willing to share? I recently came across one of the Type 2144 Frequency Analyzers and it is devoid of system disks...

Any help is appreciated.

TIA!
