The HxC Floppy Drive Emulator is a software and hardware system created by jfdn aka Jeff.
The aim of this project is to replace the floppy disk drive by an electronic device emulating the floppy disk drive (list of supported Computer/Hardware).
There are two differents emulators:
- A USB version which allows to connect the floppy disk drive interface of the computer to a PC via a USB cable.
- A SDCARD version which allows to emulate floppy disks which images are stored in a SDCARD.
Release notes for the HxCFloppyEmulator software v2.0.20.1:
- Disk Browser : AmigaDOS disk support added ! Amiga Files can be read/write/deleted with the Disk Browser !
- New Writer : XML files -> Disk layout can now be exported into XML !
- New Loader : XML files -> A disk can be generated from an XML file !
- Raw Loader : An XML file can now be used as disk layout !

CBM prg Studio Version 2.9.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.
CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.
CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.
It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:
- Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
- Tabbed MDI.
- Syntax highlighting.
What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.
New features:
- Extended colour mode for screen designer.
- Binary file import for screen designer.
- User defined links in Help.
- Batch files for user tools menu.
- Updated help file.
Bug Fixed:
- Assembler
- WORD sequences ending in , not reported.
- ROL, LSR, ADC, SBC not setting status flags in debugger properly.
- STX/STY reporting invalid address mode.
- Macros after cheap labels weren’t expanded properly.
- Macros containing tabs or comments weren’t expanded properly.
- Labels after ‘Incasm’ were not recognised.
- Indirect jumps not recognising labels
- Wrong detection of assembling past end of memory.
- Comments after macro calls were corrupting the parameters.
- Build events were not exported properly.
- Screen Designer
- ‘Undo’ undid everything, not just the last operation.
- Screen editor background colours can be set per character.
- General
- Some code reformatting issues

The comparison (before / after):
Defects:
- Floppy Disk Drive completely dead.
- Main motherboard failure: Status LED green but with the Floppy Disk Drive LEDs (red) that blink 3 times and then repeat in loop.
- Directory displayed with extra chars.
Repair:
