The Floppy emulator, an alternative to a floppy drive

The HxC floppy emulator designed by Jeff (Jean-Francois Del Nero) as an alternative way to load programs on the CPC.

The floppy emulator is an interface card that connects a PC directly to the floppy controller of the CPC.

The PC is connected to the HxC via a standard USB cable. A program is loaded on the PC that feeds the controller with disc information.
