Re: [emax] HxC help offering and a SCSI question.

Hi,

Here is my recommendations for the Emax :

- The Switch setting is ID0-A (1) to ON, all others to off.

- I recommend to update the firmware :

http://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_drive_emulator/SDCard_HxCFloppyEmulator_beta_firmware.zip

Basically to update the firmware, you have just to copy the update file (upd) to an empty fat32 sdcard, insert into the drive, press 2 buttons and switch-on the drive. More details into the readme file.
(Current version : V1.8.6.15a)

- I strongly recommend the usage of fast SD Card for the writing.
Unfortunately the Sandisk Ultra is not so good and introduce some write latencies.
The emax OS seems to be quite sensitive with write latencies.

The Sandisk Extreme series is quite good, go for it. I tried the 16GB version.
This is the one on the first page picture :

For the sound corruption, I will check if there is an problem into the software. Please share / point me a EM1 source file causing the problem and the HFE result.
BTW please retry the same HFE file after the firmware update.

Best Regards,
Jean-François DEL NERO
