I'm not the Peter you ment, but I can answer this
question: This is a replacement for a harddisk. A CMI IIx does not support a
harddisk, so the answer is: no.
What you need is this: http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.html#SDCARDFloppyemulator
According to the latest news it should now be
able to read AND write CMI images. Only problem is you need to make a sort of
converter for the connector.

Also you need a frontplate that can be placed in
your mainframe and holds the new "drives". I.m thinking about removing one of
the 8" drives and place 2 of the HxC's in that place..
If anyone is planning to do this, please let us
know. Perhaps we could save some work by working
together.

Peter Kersten.

Hi Peter
How are you?
This looks Wonderful - would it work with
a llx?
Many thanks

thought you might be amused with a recent development of mine. It's a 4 Gbyte
solid state drive mounted on a SCSI connector, from which it draws its power.
You can think of it in the same way as a memory stick for computers. It has
software partitions, so is bootable and very fast. The green LED is power, the
red, "disk" access. Check the images I posted in the photos section. This is a
prototype, I hope to have something more professional looking soon.
