HD diskettes support in HxC?

Post by yerzmyey »

Hi guys. We were testing last time whether it's possible to load a HD diskette into Amiga (from HxC). It was possible with real FDD drives - some Amigas had the HD version of the drive.

I made such a ADF file:
http://yerzmyey.republika.pl/04Yerzmyey ... me_ADF.rar and I sent it to a friend.
But he said "Just tried the adf you sent me...didn't worked !".

Could You guyz help us with this problem?

Regards,
Y

The HxC support Amiga HD disks loading, but:

-> The Amiga must identify the drive as an HD one : An additionnal circuit is needed for this.

-> It's is probably possible to have an Amiga WB tool to force the "detection" to HD without this additionnal circuit. i still looking for it...

I already added an HxC Rev F to my A4000T. But I can't use HD floppy images with this.

Is there already a kind of software fix for the workbench or can you provide the additional hardware circuit for this?
