All these computers lack a floppy disk controller. If you can find controllers for these, most of them will probably work with HxC. The TI-99/4A and Oric are confirmed to work fine.

Take a look some pictures I have with an Oric-1 and a Cumana FDD controller:

As already said, if you have a FDC with these machine, the emulator should works without problem.

If you have a XF551 diskdrive, you should be able to replace the drive mechanism with the HxC. The XF551 uses internally a standard drive unlike the 1050 diskdrive.

Otherwise take a look at the SIO2SD (available from lotharek too) or SDRIVE. These devices directly connect to the SIO bus without needing a floppy controller.
