The HxC Floppy Emulator project main idea is to completely replace the floppy disk drive by an electronic device. See the showroom to have a preview of the currently supported machi nes. It now support hundreds of machines and floppy formats. The project have grown with th e va rious sup port requests received during all these years. I personnally started this project in 2006 to revive my Atari ST & Amiga machines and make them easier to use in the incoming world without floppy disks and floppy drives. Early 2000s an alternati v e to th e floppy disks was needed for these machines because the floppy support in PC machines started to disappear and the floppy disks reliability and quality was getting worse and worse.

The Virtual Floppy Drive tool allows you to quickly install a driver and a virtual device in less than a minute. You have the option to emulate a virtual device on a virtual machine but that requires the installation of complex programs. However, older applications sometimes require the presence of a floppy disk in order to read or store information. Since it has a very small capacity and reliability compared with the DVD or the USB storage devices, less and less computers come with a installed FDD. It is a useful tool if you need to use older applications or tools that need to retrieve data from a diskette drive.ĭuring the last years, the list of removable storage solutions has increased significantly and the competition has rapidly pushed floppy disks to the bottom.
