SDCard settings i want to know...

Post by wallmaker84 »

Hi to all HxC powered guru and people :),
I don't understand the mean of following options in SDcard HxC Fl.Emul. configuration screen:

- Force loading STARTUPA/B.HFE into the drive A/B at power up;

- Enable index pre incrementing;

- HFE file interface mode -->double step.

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot friends..
Daniele

The STARTUP files (STARTUPA.HFE and STARTUPB.HFE) can be loaded automatically when you turn on the HxC floppy emulator. This is useful if your hardware needs a boot disk. If you disable this, the latest used floppy image will be loaded instead.

The double step mode is a trick to move the floppy head two tracks at a time. This is needed on some hardware that expects reading 40 tracks floppies on 80 tracks drives.
