Linux Version of SLIM HxC Floppy Emulator Software

[ldkraemer]

I'd like to request a copy of the Linux Version of HxC_Floppy_Emulator_Software for the SLIM.

The file: HxC_Floppy_Emulator_Software_User_Manual_ENG.pdf states the following:

HxC Floppy Emulator Software User Manual
Rev.1.0 - 05/13/2013

This tool can be downloaded there :
https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_driv ... r_soft.zip
This software is available on Windows, MacOS X (x86) and Linux machines.
This Step by Step guide intend to describe some basic tasks.

The Linux version is not included in the HxCFloppyEmulator_soft.zip file.

How do I Request a current Linux Version?

Thanks.

Larry

Just get the whole svn tree :

http://sourceforge.net/p/hxcfloppyemu/code/HEAD/tree/

and make the software.

Jeff,
Thanks for the tip on getting the svn code. I've got it compiled on Debian 7.x and I'm testing a few *.td0 files.

I've tried this command and it appears to function properly:

Code: Select all

./hxcfe -finput:ampro.td0 -infos

Have you got a clue as to what could be the problem with the compilation error, or the missing dir tree?
Shouldn't there be a directory listing for both TD0 files?

I tried to do a conversion from .TD0 to .HFE and that appears to have worked just fine. I won't know for sure until
I get my slim (or other choice) purchased.

Is it dos type images ?

[ldkraemer]

Jeff,
The TD0 Images were created with Teledisk on a DOS machine, but the actual floppy used to create the TD0 images were as follows:

ampro.td0 was created from an actual Ampro Little Board (Z80) CP/M Machine with 80 Tracks, 2 sides, and Normal Compression.
80 tracks, 2 side(s), gap3:65535,rpm:300 bitrate:250000

KAY2SYS.TD0 was created from an actual Kaypro II (Z80) CP/M Machine with 40 Tracks, 2 Sides, and Advanced Compression.
Kaypro 2 System Disk - SS/DD 180K - 40 tracks, 2 side(s), gap3:65535,rpm:300 bitrate:250000

So, No they aren't DOS type Images, but are CP/M Images.

If you have somewhere I can upload them, I'll upload them so you can test with the actual images.

Thanks.

Larry

That's why you can't see files : The browser doesn't yet support CPM filesystem.
Actually only FAT12 & AmigaDOS FS are supported.

[ldkraemer]

Jeff,
OK, Thanks. I assumed that they were included since the CLI Command existed to produce the listing.

This is working for DOS/FAT12 & AmigaDos disks, for the moment.
