Re: [emax] Hxc worth the pain ?

2014-05-27 by Ted Summers

Interesting- I hadn't heard any complaints about the HxC til now, but then I always recommend the SCSI option.

(disclaimer- I do sell the SCSI kits).

Sandisk is good and I normally don't have problems with that brand.
If they are high speed flash or large size that could be a problem- some drives have flash drive limit and I wouldn't use larger than 128MB in it as you can only do 99 banks, right? So more space is waste of $$ on media.

I don't have an HxC so I can't give further troubleshooting or comment.


Regards,
Ted

Hey gang !

i just upgraded my emax to a hxc floppy emulator and i can't say i'm happy with it : i bought a sandisk sd that was broken from the start, i have a second sd that worked for a few hours but that's now stick in a " read fat..." process (seems ok on the computer but the emax do not want it anymore). Fortunately i found a third one in an old smartphone that seems to work (for now).

I tried to save a sound to the sd but all i can have is a "disk error" message.

So, in summary :

- sd cards seems to be very fragile

- loading process as slow as a floppy

- saving... herm... i suppose it's as slow as a floppy but i could not manage to save a sound.


Can somebody tell me why this product seems to be a "must have" for a lot of people before i go back to the trusty floppy...


thanks,


julien :-(
