Yes sorry. Try this one instead.

Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
Et voilà ! : This was the Roland trick : They use the motor-on signal to clear the ready signal. I will check if this feature is common to all the QD drives or only present in model used by Roland.
This also explains the "Short ready" behaviour seen before.
I will check the qd drive i have here and decide if this should be set as an option or not.
Good that this last issue is cleared, i can work on something else now !
Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
I've successfully saved and loaded a multi-disk sample from the Roland library as well now!
Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
So this RY signal behaviour is specific to the Roland machines.
There is now 2 builds of the QD firmware :
USB_HFE_hxc_floppy_emulator_firmware_release_notes.txt
Custom HxC firmware
Use the firmware "HxCFEUSB_V3_4_X_Xa_Roland_QuickDisk.UPD" for Roland machines.
Thanks again to all beta testers !

- QuickDisk support :
- Better ready timings.
- Support Roland /RY signal behavior. (Firmware QuickDisk\HxCFEUSB_V3_4_7_11a_Roland_QuickDisk.UPD)

Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
Just finished installing a gotek in my S-220. I notice I'm also getting verify errors every time, but it seems to save and I can reload a sound I recorded on the next boot up. I guess at this point we're just waiting for bug fixes?AMSynths wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 2:40 pmHi
Been on holiday, latest Roland test results:
fw 3.4.7.1 loads ok from the latest HxCUSBFE
Could not load the blank QD but OK with Roland Formatted file
SAVE works, but with VERIFY ERROR every time
LOAD works from this saved file
So looks like we just need to sort the VERIFY for the Roland. Any traces/data you want me to do?
I am going to load the Gotek up with all the factory samples and try out my adapter PCB
UPDATE: Success with sample dumping into S-220 the factory library then saving to Gotek USB except for saves that need more than one QD due to the verify errors. Work around is to save each Bank separately.
Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
This is fixed in the above firmware !
https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_dri ... rmware.zip
In the QuickDisk folder:
HxCFEUSB_V3_4_7_11a_Roland_QuickDisk.UPD
with the DSKA0001_Roland.QD file image.
Check that you have the right firmware flashed : If you have an lcd/oled gotek : just read the version, if you have a 7 segments gotek : remove the stick, press both buttons, select 'F' and then read the version numbers.
Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
(If you could just try the official release to check that all still working ? )
Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
Anyway i have just tried it and the Roland ready signal works just as expected. So this is ok !
I am removing the experimental files from this thread (firmwares & QD images) since this seems to confuse peoples. (I keep a copy of the files if needed...). Some are trying non-working experimental stuffs from this thread while a working official release is already available. (I got feedbacks by email on 1 week old stuff from this thread).
So unless i am debugging something directly with you, please use the official release :
https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_dri ... rmware.zip
The most recent and stable firmwares for QuickDisk Emulation is present into the above archive in the "QuickDisk" folder.
The firmware was tested successfully on Akai X7000, Akai S612 (MD280), Roland S10 (use the "Roland" UPD variant for Roland machines).
And this should definitively works on the others Roland machines (S-220, MKS-100...) (use the "Roland" UPD variant for Roland machines).
Of course you can ( you must !! ) report any issues you have with this official version !

Re: 2.8" QD Disk Emulation
Works with S-220. Many thanks to all...!!
