Re: [CZsynth] Casio FZ with Lotharek Floppy Emulator

i would if i had it

but your going to need a floppy drive if you want to image your disks its the only way

all pc mother boards have onboard floppy drive chips

you need to switch it in the bios 

a £5 pc floppy will do

the good thing is you can use your fz can you dump the disk as an fzf file as the emulator can also read these files

  Problem us that the disk is a bit wonky - that's why I'm asking (and partly since I don't even have a computer with a floppy in the whole house! - that can of course be arranged, but I thought if someone already have it) - maybe it would be a great idea to upload it to the Files section of the Group. Floppies have a tendency to break after a while.

  >Hi guys! I've just got one of those nifty Lotharek Floppy Emulators (F rev!) that I'm planning to install tomorrow. Only problem is that my Optional Software disk is not entirely healthy - so I wonder if there is anyone here with a Lotharek emulator who can send me a zip or something that I can transfer to the memory card. Would be damn great. Otherwise I'm missing out on all the sweet stuff in the FZ - and that's something I'd rather not do.
