Changing Disks without reboot

[PulseSeeker]

A few weeks ago i got my SD HxC Slim Rev.A
I bought it to replace my diskdrive in my A1200. This means i want to insert und eject disk when installing i.e. the Workbench 3.1
But in the menu i didn't find a option to change a disk-image and return to the workbench. All options to change a disk and save the config require a reboot.

Is there a option that i didn't find to return to the workbench?
Is there a firmware update available or planed which includes this option?

For the moment, you should fill the slots with all wanted disks images.

Or use the indexed mode :

This is possible, but i have to do it.

Note : this is not a firmware problem. All is done by the Amiga software (the image AUTOBOOT.HFE).
Also : We need an Amiga developer to enhanced this software !

I filled the slots 1-7 with disk images named DSKA0001.HFE to DSKA0007.HFE.
But i always can choose the image DSKA0001. When i push the SELECT-Button nothing changes. When i hold the button i can start the Floppy Emulator Manager.

Any hint what i am doing wrong?

I think you need dskA0000.hfe to start with. So first disk is dskA0000.hfe and last disk is dskA0006.hfe

exactly.

I've named the disk-images from dskA0000.hfe to dskA0006.hfe now. But when i push the select button i'll always get the first-image or the HxCFloppySelector-Icon.

Do i need a special HXCSDFE.CFG or AUTOBOOT.HFE?

The filestructure on my SD-Card looks like this:

Code: Select all

ROOT
||
|--Emulator_as_DF0
|  | 
|  --AUTOBOOT.HFE
--AUTOBOOT.HFE
--DSKA0000.HFE
--DSKA0001.HFE
--DSKA0002.HFE
--DSKA0003.HFE
--DSKA0004.HFE
--DSKA0005.HFE
--DSKA0006.HFE
--HXCSDFE.CFG

Edit:
I forget the HXCSDFE.CFG in the filestructure

Yes sure : You need to enable the indexed mode into the HXCSDFE.CFG with the hxc software. (AUTOBOOT.HFE is not used anymore in this mode.)

Thanks Jeff, that's it
Now all works fine and i can switch through all disks in the slots
