blakespot Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I just received a Rev F HxC2001 floppy emulator and have mounted it in an SF354 external drive case. Grey-painted HxC2001 mounted in a dremel-modified Atari SF354 enclosure. #ST by blakespot, on Flickr I have an orig 520ST with no internal drive. It's all wired up and powered up but I get not drive activity when booting. I got the ST Manager archive and pulled the HXCSDFE.CFG and AUTOBOOT.HFE from there and put it on the SD card (4GB) with some games in a GAMES/ dir. I have set 8-switch DIP to all possible settings for HxC as drive A: or A: and B: both twisted cable and normal. I never see the track indicator move. When I first booted with no files on SD card, I got an error saying no HXCSDFE.CFG file, and I see the contents of that file have changed since I manually chose a game to load with the front buttons. Any ideas on how to get this working? Thanks. bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_HxC2001 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The colored wire of the floppy ribbon should be connected to the right of the drive. Please put a picture of the HxC lcd with a selected HFE to confirm or not the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have flipped the Atari interface board, so the ribbon cable is in reverse orientation vs. the photo, there. So, not the problem, it seems. bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakespot Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Is anyone out there running an HxC2001 on an ST and using it for dual drive emulation? If so, can I get your pinouts? I am using mine in an external drive enclosure on a 520ST which has no internal drive. I am discussing my issues here: http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1478 Can't get the B: drive emu working. Thanks. bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
