Usually people write on forums when they have problems.
I, on the other hand, can only say that I attached the device to the Sampler, powered on and it just worked!
I would have run into issues had I not found the thread about the images having to be in the Amstrad CPC format, but that's what forums are for. Maybe information like that should be included in the manual though...
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you have one more happy and satisfied HxC user!
Yeah it works!!!

Re: Yeah it works!!!
So far I'm really pleased with it. Have to try write access though.
Btw. I have a question... I suppose the buttons are supposed to be fitted with some caps of some kind, am I right? What kind of caps am I supposed to look for? I'd love to close the front side of what once was the floppy drive with a faceplate with only a small hole for the SD card, and have the buttons sick out on top, but I would need some kind of long caps that fit on the buttons...

Re: Yeah it works!!!
ok.
the problem is this: the hxC has 3 buttons soldered on the board. These buttons onlz have small "knobs" to be pushed. now, I have mounted the hxC inside the Dss-1, so that the frontside of the pcb is flush with what once was the floppy drive frontpanel (I did it like the guy on this page: http://www.burncards.com).
Now, I'd like the buttons to stick out from top, because I'd like to close the open hole with a frontplate, to prevent dust to get in. My plan is to drill 3 hole on the upper side of the plastic that covers the floppy drive compartment on the Dss-1 and have 3 botton caps that work as an extension of the actual caps that are on the buttons... I just don't know if I'll have to make such caps myself or if I can find these around...
I hope I could explain this a bit more clearly this time

Re: Yeah it works!!!
I used eraser rubbers I had here to use as caps/knobs, have a look below.
I put a needle across all of them to keep them away from falling out, it works as expected.

Re: Yeah it works!!!
Thanks a lot! Not sure I will be able to find those button caps... but I might try the rubber trick!
