I have finally got around to working on my HxC/EII project.
I get a 'disk format error' whenever I try to get the EII to boot from the HxC. I read that you have to eject the 'disk' a couple of times and then reload, but it makes no difference. I have tried all of the O.S. images on EMXP site and the quick start ones on the HxC site, but nothing makes any change. I don't need to upload the .CFG file as I am using the one provided and have checked all of the settings.
Just a 'disk format error' every time.
Can't get EII to boot or load from HxC SD

Please try to update your HxC with the attached firmware. An issue was corrected related to the Em-II/SP1200 startup.
If still doesn't works please check your cable connection and jumper settings.
Also here you can find some working image :

Re: Can't get EII to boot or load from HxC SD
Thanks Jeff. I got it working last night. It was (I think) a combination of the old firmware and the jumper settings on the 5.25 floppy drive.
Another question: What type of LEDs can I use to replace the tiny ones on HxC?
Thanks, Jay
