SDCard HxC on Acorn A7000+

Post by egrath »

Hi,

i'm completely new to the whole HxC thingy and struggle to get the HxC to work my Acorn Archimedes A7000+. Can anyone guide me on how to get it working?

1. Which settings have to be made on the jumper block? I have only 1 device (the HxC) connected to the Bus. I followed the manual and set everything to off, except for ID2 on A to make it the only drive - is this correct?
2. I created a new HFE (1.44 MB DOS) with the provided tool and put some files on it. The Acorn is able to read MS-DOS formatted floppy images.
3. My HXCSDFE.CFG looks like:

I can navigate on the HxC to the HFE and open it up, but the A7000 does not recognize it ("The disc drive is empty"). The cable i used to connect the HxC works as i tried a mechanical floppy with a 3.5" disk and this one worked. I have updated to the latest Beta version too.

Any hints on what i've done wrong?

Best regards,
Egon
