Did you test the floppyemulator on Windows?
I have problems for reading it when the PC is runing under Windows operating system.

When the PC is initialited from standart floppy, it can read from the emulator, but is imposible when is initialited fron HD.... what is the problem? can you help to me? thanks

(I have Windows98 in my computer)
mhh maybe windows is trying to write to the floppy emulator.
replace fast_int_handler.asm by this one https://hxc2001.com/floppy_drive_emulat ... andler.asm and recompile the pic firmware.

Hi Jeff..... I have made your last compilation with "fast_int_handler.asm" new version too but it didn´t work.
when I try to boot from emulator the computer say´s

"No systemdisk. Booting fron harddisk
Cannot load from harddisk.
Insert insert systemdisk and press any key"


when I press any key, the computer says:

"Disk formatted with MagicISO 4.70 (c) 2001-04 MagicISO, Inc.
Bootsector from C.H. Hochstatter"


And repeat again......

"No systemdisk. Booting fron harddisk
Cannot load from harddisk.
Insert insert systemdisk and press any key"


But, when I boot from the boot diskette, the floppy emulator can be read from DOS system. What is the difference betwen two situations?

for me there are no difference. Can you copy an file from the emulator to the floppy ? The head of the emulator is moving ?
