SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator and old CNC Machine

[ziotibia81]

Hi!!

I've an old CNC machine with an old PC Floppy.
I'm planning to remove old floppy and install SDCard HxC but i can't know if it work or not.

Floppy Drive on cnc machine is a standard pc floppy but foppy disks was fomatted on a custom unducumentated mode. I already tryed to create a raw image from a floppy disk using rawrite on windows and dd on linux but all repord error on reading track 0. On CNC machine all work fine...

Someone could suggest me how extract a RAW image from this floppy, understand format type and discover if it could work using SD HxC ??

Bye...

First solution :
ImageDisk under MS DOS

IMD file format are directly by the HxC Software.

Second solution :
OmniFlop under windows :

I've tryed ImageDisk under MS DOS but it report a read error on track0.

I've no idea how my CNC save data on the floppy
