this the design from 2006 so it's read only. no sd card version batch planned, this still a "do it yourself" device. (the device need to be more or less redesigned to be produced and sold)

Hi, A new and probably the last batch of USB HxC Floppy Emulator will be made by petersieg: http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?t=242 The projet page: http://jeanfrancoisdelnero.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.html#USBFloppyemulator The pictures/videos page: http://jeanfrancoisdelnero.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/pictures/index.html#usb_hxc_floppy_emu_pictures

The sdcard version is almost ready (i must make a cleaner/smaller pcb). Some people had already built the prototype version. http://jeanfrancoisdelnero.free.fr/floppy_...DFloppyemulator do you have an idea yet of what you will charge for them? Hard to say, this depending where and how many parts can be buy for one batch: main parts are : a PIC18F uC, 3 button , a 3.3V regulator, an sdcard socket, some gate to make the floppy bus driver, and an alphanumerical LCD (will be probably optional, but recommended ) + some resistors/capacitors and a pcb. So i think that the price can vary from 40euros up to 100euros, depending of the parts suppliers and the batch size.

That's the problem, you can't. Nobody is making them for sale. yet mhmm what do you mean ?

Hi, You can find the vhdl code here : HxCFloppyEmulator VHDL code
