Stuck at "Reading FAT.."

Post by mikedean »

My Hxc is stuck at "Reading FAT.." prompt. I have tried several low level format tools, format in Windows XP to FAT32, tried several different types of images, etc. I am using a Sony 4GB SDHC card with Rev C Hxc. All software is latest version. CFG file is present on card. I am not sure what the next step is...

Unfortunately the only last thing to do is try another SDCard.
Can you give me the exact sdcard model ?

EDIT : try this beta firmware

Thanks Jeff. I will try another card. The card I am having problems with is a Sony SDHC 4GB with MMBGS04GWMCA-MB D4DCC0110000 SF4C4 on the back. I will also load that newer firmware and see if it work.

I tried a SanDisk 4GB SDHC card and no more problems. For some reason Sony is not working in Hxc. I will load new firmware and give feedback. Thanks.

Oh. I tried different systems. Atari ST, E-MU SP1200, E-mu EMAX. None worked with Sony.

About the E-MU SP1200, is it working with the hxc floppy emulator ?
