What it is |
The HxC is a device which is capable of
emulating the floppy drive of many vintage computers and electronic musical
instruments. It has been designed by the HxC2001 project, which is initiated and lead by Jean-Francois Del
Nero. There are two types of HxC available:
The SD HxC is by far the most popular
choice. It's available as an internal or as an external device. The HxC supports the E-Mu Emulator-I and
Emulator-II samplers since the end of 2010. The EMAX-I and EMAX-II are also
supported, and the HxC seems to work pretty fine in the Emulator-III and
Emulator-IIIX as well. In order to use the HxC, the original
floppy drive must be replaced by the HxC. This means that the floppy drive's
power and data cables in the sampler should be connected to the HxC instead
of to the original floppy drive.

Downloads |
We
have written a manual specifically dedicated to the installation and usage of
the SD HxC in the E-Mu Emulator-I and Emulator-II samplers. It includes many
drawings and practical hints. Although the manual hasn't recently been updated
while some new models of the HxC device have been launched in the meanwhile,
the information in the manual is still valid, even for the newer models. This
manual can be downloaded here: HxC_for_EmuI_and_EmuII_v1_1.zip Some
Emulator I bootable disk files for use with the HxC can be downloaded here. The .HFE files can immediately be used
on the SD card; the .EMUFD files can be used as input file for the HxC
conversion software. Some
Emulator II bootable disk files for use with the HxC can be downloaded here. The .HFE files can immediately be used
on the SD card; the .EMUIIFD files can be used as input file or as "OS
Overlay File" for the HxC conversion software. Some
Emulator III/IIIX bootable disk files for use with the HxC can be downloaded
here.The .HFE files included in these
zip files can immediately be used on the SD card. Disclaimer: Using these operating system files is at
own risk (although the files are based on properly working Emulator-I and
Emulator-II floppy disks). Emu did not approve any of these files. Emu nor myself have any responsibility
nor accountability for any possible damage caused by or presumably caused by
using these files. If you don't agree with this statement,
don't use the files. |
