Peter,
where do you find info on the HCX and if it works
for writing to the SD Card ?

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#SDCARDFloppyemulatorAccording 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.Info: http://users.bart.nl/users/pb0aia/cm/8-525.html and http://nemesis.lonestar.org/computers/tandy/hardware/model16_6000/floppyfix.htmlAlso 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.Regards,Peter Kersten.---------------------------------------------------

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

> Hi All. I 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.
