Write support in USB HxC Floppy Emulator

[sba923]

Hi,

I'm considering upgrading my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-207 by replacing the (perfectly working) floppy drive with some kind of emulator.

http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=121 seems a very nice product, but I'm thinking of even more user friendliness by creating some setup where the emulator would read/write its data directly from my NAS, using something like https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 41&t=58345.

But there's some statement there that is definitely a showstopper:

One major limitation of the actual hardware : It doesn’t support the write from the host computer !

Is this limitation actually present? If not, where is it clearly documented that the current hardware/firmware version of http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=113 does support read/write emulation of 1.44MB floppies?

Next to that, I'll obviously need confirmation that either emulator would work on the CVP-207.

TIA for your help.

yes.

Too bad... I will have to think about designing a hardware interface between my CVP-207's floppy interface cable and a Raspberry Pi2, so that I can then write the appropriate software to use directories on my NAS as virtual floppy discs...

Using the MIDI interface seems to me a better idea to do this .
