I've not been able to open the user's manual at Padial's web page as haven't the proper decompresor for it in this computer, maybe you've read the second one that is a document, as you said, for programers. You'll handle both as normal drives, just like with an IDE. You can make a 32MB FAT12 partition and the rest of the card with one only FAT16 partiton, for example. You'll need a FAT12 partiton as the MSX needs it to boot.

It seems like the software coding for use it is not implemented (if you ask me, it's a shame that it still not made as there's no way to use this second slot that all those readers have. About the second card slot, it has no use yet. And AFAIK you can find some issues with the memory expansion in some MSX machines. This is a good option if your computer have low RAM but price, of course, it's higher. There's another one with 4MB RAM and connector for 2 expanded slots. There are two models, the one you say is the basic one (it's the one I'll get). You can mount several of them, and change from one to another so you'll have not problem when a game ask you to change the disk. I haven't received mine yet, so I can't talk by my experience, but I've seen other users with it and it's just some commands for mount DSK image files but nothing difficult. The HxC Floppy Drive Emulator is a software and hardware system created by Jean Francois Del Nero, that emulates the behaviour of a floppy drive.It currently works for Amiga and 16-bits Atari computers. I am not overly technical so need things described simply such as 1.

I did quickly read through the manual, but it seems to go quite technical. I am guessing FAT16 FORMATTING would be the best method to use? It also mentions 5 different ways to format the SD cards. I am also trying to work out why it had slots for two SD cards instead of just one? Is LPE-MMC-V8BKP the one I would need to buy?Īlso how easy is it to load from a DSK image? Is there a Menu Loader program to select and load from disks, or is it only possible by using manual commands? I think I have found the website where they can be purchased: That does sound more like what I am looking for Price for a Padial SD Reader is cheaper than the HXC too. It can work even if the computer doesn't have a floppy drive, so there's no point to be worried about disk controller and so. You'll have no issues and don't have to change the original floppy drive nor internal roms. Supports a wide range of floppy image formats. The unit mounts floppy disk images stored on a USB drive and it behaves like a real floppy drive. Compatible with FlashFloppy, Cortex, HxC firmwares. I think it's more useful than the HXC option. It includes a 16x2 LCD screen display and a internal buzzer to simulate the disk activity noise. Compatible with all MSX families (1,2,2+,Turbo-R). I can't say about the Synfox cartridge but Padial's can handle DSK emulation and you'll have a larger media for storage (I think up to 2GB). It is a VG 8235/00.īetter try the SD/MMC reader from Padial or Synfox (don't know if there are more options in this kind of hard). I have also read conflicting information about whether the 8235 can read larger than 360k floppies - I do not want to write to the disk images, just read them. I just need to confirm if this will work and load games correctly (from the second drive) and useful commands to access the external HXC Floppy Drive and list a contents of a disk directory and load a game for it. They now sell an external version of the HXC Drive: Īnd it can be powered using this: and this To avoid communication problems please use email adresses different from you for the information, but I would prefer to keep the original drive in the MSX and use the HCX Floppy Drive external using the external floppy connector on the MSX if that is possible.
