Greeting !
it's my first msg here and and first i would like to say to you Jeff that you did a hell of a job !
i hope your emulator to be my salvation plan...
i'll explain it i a few words:
i've got this Broidery Machine that works only with floppys, and ...i guess you got the end of the story
so ...while googling i found your amazing project and i'm realy realy interrested for doing one my self, ofcourse i'll need the .sch file and the .c or .hex program file...by the way...can i make your emulator using a PIC16F877 ?
depending on this photo viewtopic.php?t=234 i gess it's a Microship but the model number isn't clear...
by the way i've been trying several time to acces to your home page to extracts the project documentation , but without succes, i don't understand !
if you can email me these documents, that would be nice of you
well Mr Jeff thanks in advance and i'm looking forward for your email/answer

You can get a kit on the Lotharek web site :
http://www.lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=33
Re: HxC FD emulator adaptation
thx Mr Jeff for your answer, yes ths time i succeed downloading the zip file and it contains all about it exept the frim ware file for the PIC18F.......
and by the way, depending on you lage experience don't you think that i could replace the PIC18F4525 by a PIC16F877...
i mean they have the same PIN number, same shape, same ports A,B,C,D and E both can operates at 20Mhz...etc
do you think that it's doable..?
thanks in advance !

No, no enough ram, and miss some mips.hisni wrote: and by the way, depending on you lage experience don't you think that i could replace the PIC18F4525 by a PIC16F877...

Re: HxC FD emulator adaptation
yes as i said i succeed downloading this fileJeff wrote: You can get a kit on the Lotharek web site :

http://www.lotharek.pl/zasoby/produkty/ ... or_Kit.zip
but not this one
https://hxc2001.com/floppy_drive_emulat ... rmware.zip
i don't understand what's happening, my navigator refuses all links that starts particulary by http://hxc2001...etc
i tryed this on an other computer cause i thaugh that it could be a navigation problem but it's seems that there are some DNS issues with my operator....
if you could email me the firmware file that would be wonderful, and excuse me again Mr Jeff if i'm bothering you with my requests.

Re: HxC FD emulator adaptation
and about the microcontroller
in our market the best microchip i could found is the PIC18F4550
here is the features :
PIC18F4550 : http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/de ... e=en010300
and comparing it with the one you used for the Floppy emulator
PIC18F4620 : http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/De ... e=en010304
the ram difference is :
PIC18F4550 : 2,048 bytes
PIC18F4620 : 3,968 bytes
the second is approximatly twice the size of the first one....but 2,048 bytes can't do it ?
i don't know your card's Ram requirments, but you tell me..is there a chance or should i skip it and look for and other solution ?
thanks !

Re: HxC FD emulator adaptation
ahh ok i see, i didn't know that it was for lucrative purpes, i thaugh it was a free to test project with all documentation and source files for the micro controler. any ways my opinion about it still the same...a hell of jobJeff wrote: To make things clear : This file is useless if you don't have a PIC buyed from Lotharek.
