Have you selected the "Predefined Disk Layout" to "Akai S950 3"5 HD Floppy" before loading the raw file ?

Yes. I just went through the process to double check. I'm using the mac version of the software.

Here is an example Akai .img file:

Here is an example of the output from HXC:

look fine.

Have you test the Akai images into this archive ? :

https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_driv ... Images.zip

if doesn't work, have you the akai s950 resistor mod on your hxc ?

My HxC had the S950 resistor mod added by Lotharek.

I have tested the image files in the Akai image archive and they work with my HxC.

When I convert a IMG file to a HEF file using EMXP they work with my HxC.

When I try to convert IMG files in the HxC software they DO NOT work with my HxC.

If you were able to get the example IMG file I uploaded to convert into a FHE file I must be doing something wrong. Please outline the exact steps you took to turn the IMG file into a FHE file. :?

Is this HFE file working ? :

If yes, convert the img file into this archive again, and send me back the hfe (and also try the hfe on the akai).

Yes the HFE file is working on the Akai.

When I take the image file and convert I get this file:

Both files (mine and your HFE) are exactly the same. So your file should work the same as mine...

The software creates a file called "Raw Image"

When I rename that file and add .HFE at the end it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?
