Re: Divide plus and plus D
Hi My Friends, I have stopped (for a short time) to investigate about +D and HxC FDD emulator for personal problems... but here is a Spectrum user who managed to make HxC to work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDlMhCogpXc&feature=youtu.be In WOS forum I required him to share HxC dip switches config...

KyroFlux and Plus D floppy discs
Here is an interesting interface. http://www.kryoflux.com "KryoFlux is a USB-based floppy controller designed specifically for reliability, precision, and getting low-level reads suitable for software preservation" I would like to investigate a possible backup solution using Kyroflux to backup PlusD...

Re: Divide plus and plus D
That should work - but may need some fine tuning. Unfortunately, whilst I have (and stock) HxC Floppy Disk Emulators, I do not have a PlusD interface to try this with! All right, I'll buy this floppy disc emulator http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=122 ... and I'll be your guinea pig. Let's start e...

Re: Divide plus and plus D
So we have to use HxC virtual floppy discs I contacted Jean Francois Del Nero (who produces HxC floppy emulator): he says that the floppy emulator "is already working" with plusD. Do you know compatibility issued with plusD and Lotharek's HxC floppy disc emulator? In HxC floppy disc emulator compat...

Re: Divide plus and plus D
Yes - although the problem is that I don't know if any of the emulators can read from within a +divIDE virtual disk image to let you get them onto the PC side... +DivIDE should work with all DISCiPLE and +D software which doesn't call routines in G+DOS directly. At the moment it is not 128K mode co...

Re: Divide plus and plus D
...Because of i/o port conflicts PlusD PAL has to be replaced by adapted GAL. With this GAL the floppy i/o ports are remapped and the FDC can be fully accessed. My current firmware version only supports reading but it works flawlessly... So I could load files from my plusD disc and save disk images...

Re: Divide plus and plus D
... the trouble is that I cannot adapt HxC software 
In other words (as far I know) there is still no way to make plusD (old generation hardware) to work together with another new-generation storage hardware. I hope someone will be able to modify HxC software. Many thanks again for your help

Re: Divide plus and plus D
Hi to all, I'll try to resurrect my old plusD discs on which I saved original games in this way >> BASIC loader >> screen >> main code block >> optional other code blocks in 128 versions: those blocks are saved (from BASIC loader) in various pages of 128 memory >> the games is started with a randomi...

Re: Divide plus and plus D
Many thanks for your kind and quick reply. I have no coding experience. I have only lots of Spectrum Games converted to the plus D and I would like to manage my collection and to male backup copies... Have you suggestions? Please remember thanks my converted games include many multiloading.

Divide plus and plus D
Dear Friends,
the old Spectrum addiction is returned!! I am going to buy Divide plus interface but I would like to use it with my faithful MGT plus D. What about their compatibility? I know there are problems, but can they at least be connected at the same time to my grey 128 +2 Spectrum?
