Re: [emax] Hxc worth the pain ?

2014-05-27 by Ted Summers

Well, the SD shouldn't have that many problems in of itself.
I use SD in my flash drives (PCD-50b, MicroTech DPAI-SCSI, and an generic ide over acard SCSI bridge).
The only thing I am mindful /careful in regards is to not hot swap them (emax 1 can corrupt a hot-swapped SD or CF media from my experience).

but where it is emulating floppy, the considerations may be different.

I do know that if you hotswap a media where the drive doesn't specifically support it, you can damage drive and or media. The only other question might be what revision HxC you have.... that might be helpful where others have comparison of what rev they have that are working properly (difference in version or firmware??)

Thanks guys !

@Ted : i'm not really complaining, i'm just not seeing the real advantage of a hxc over a floppy. If the sd cards are that fragile, having all your sounds on a single one could be a real problem when the sd card is crashing. As stated by RVK : frequent backup strongly advised..
@Robert : yes i re-formated the "read fat..." card, on the pc, with no chance. Same behaviour before and after...

Maybe it's because i'm a hxc newbie, i'll dig it...
