Hi Jeff, have you received the sdcard?

In the meantime i've made some tests with other 4gb sd card:
1) Sandisk Ultra 4gb C4 sdhc (BH1018816339G) works good.
2) KingSton 4gb C4 sdhc (SD-K04G - 1041WG6184F) works good.

With the not working sdcard i've found out this:
If i turn on the pc with that card in the hxc, the pc locks during the boot of that image.
But if i turn on the pc with one of the other two sdcard, put the non working one in the hxc, reset the pc without turning it off, the pc boots the image correctly.

I hope this helps.

Yes i got it.

The SDCard seems to work.
In fact you have inserted an amiga disk in the "drive B". The problem is that the interface was in Amiga mode... not in PC mode.
Overwriting the config file correct this.

Booting/reading/writing in DD and HD on PC work on this sd with this firmware :

however the timing on this sdcard is bad, and this can make the device unreliable.
So i have to optimize a little more the firmware to make the thing better.

Another point : you have dumped an ms dos floppy disk, but the previous software was bugged. retry with the new one :

sdcard hxc floppy emulator settings window. This must be done before converting files to hfe.
And for your ms dos floppy dump , you must be set the interface to PC IBM PC 1.44MB or IBM PC 720KB.
