I was more interested why you keep disk images at all.
WHAT IS A USB FLOPPY EMULATOR FREE
I still have a real FDD in just about all my PC's and 2 USB external FDD drives myself as people are giving them away free these days but if I'm using a floppy its casue I'm trying to do a quick file transfer or using as a boot disk and getting Error reading from drive A is the last thing I want to see. You can write floppy images just as if it was connected to a header. I have a USB FDD and it works quite well. Something I want to look at it sourcing a USB floppy adapter so I don't have to use a motherboard with floppy header (they are getting rare and really limit your choices). I've been told that the new floppy drives are simply garbage and that was when I looked for other options. Not a single read error or any issue unlike with real floppy drives and disks.
The benefit of floppies is not having to shut down the machine, remove the CF card or notebook HDD, out it in the desktop, load software, remove it and put it back in the retro computer. It's a good enough solution for me 😀 Images also work with bootdisks and hold the LABEL information, which some disks look for, like Creative Sound Blaster disks. With the images I just need to right click a few times and have a new restored one. If my USB with all the floppies dies it's a real pain. What's the benefit of keeping it as a floppy image?īackup really. If in the future you offer a good LCD display and support for at least 1000 floppies on one USB stick/SD Card and a reasonable price tag you could grab all of the retro computing market for yourselves. In future planned add more formats, also functions if nessesary.įor the price that emulator costs, i would rather get the Hxc. New version can maintain all this floppy formats:ġ60KB 5" double 512data 8sector 40trk 1side MFMġ80KB 5" double 512data 9sector 40trk 1side MFMģ20KB 5" double 512data 8sector 40trk 2side MFMģ60KB 5" double 512data 9sector 40trk 2side MFMħ20KB 3" double 512data 9sector 80trk 2side MFMġ,2MB 5" double 512data 15sector 80trk 2side MFMġ,44MB 3" high 512data 18sector 80trk 2side MFM Today we have added some other formats as well.

This floppy emulator have a software update function,Įvery this type floppy emulator with older software can be upgraded to new version, I thought Bulk save may be a Bulk export option to backup a usb, but is just seems to be like a commit changes to many disk images at onceĪhelet wrote: This floppy emulator have a software update function,Įvery this type floppy emulator with older software can be upgraded to new I'm guessing this is your Q and W options on your 1st screenshot)Īll seems to work but the 486 with the physical drive isn't set up so cant properly test So I just did a quick test using 1.31t of write an image file which shows up on the virtual drive, export image file which created an img file then write an image file again to a different virtual drive. I seem to remember I ended up just booting from a physical floppy with the correct OS and then just going sys A:\ B:\
I cant remember if I was ever able to create a boot disk from using "write an image file".

I don't use the full blown 1.31t version, its overkill for what I need. It seems to still have the ability to write image files but I’ve never tested this. It uses the same screen layout just with an advanced tab to access individual disks and is a self contained exe that doesn’t need installing.

Incidentally this last screen is a cutdown version of the 1.23 download from the same site. I've had to put the screenshots in a word document as I cant post pics at the moment. The toolbar is quite different but hopefully it'll give you a start. Don't know why your still using the Chinese version unless it doesn't work on your drive? (I have the 2 digit version) Ok So I used the 1.31t version from the link earlier in this post.
