    Default EMUFDD 4.0 - Floppy HW Emulator (+USB)



    EMUFDD 4.0 - USB Floppy Disk Replacement / Hardware Emulator

    * comes to you with all supported floppy interfaces within an unique firmware, jumper-free configurable
    * loads data directly from USB-key standard DOS directories
    * is the only emulator that loads/saves data also in ISO standard format, readable by every virtual floppy software and floppy low level editor
    * can emulate system floppies, particular floppies that can't be simply copied but need a clone operation
    * can emulate any non-standard floppy format (640Kb/800Kb/1.28Mb/...)
    * EMUFDD + Virtual Floppy Drive (VFD) is a complete data exchange system, more than a plain floppy emulator
    * is an original product, designed & assembled in Italy since 2009

    EMUFDD lets:

    * any computer and industrial machinery go on working, without hardware or software change
    * people just switch off, replace the old drive and turn on: complete stand-alone hardware emulation
    * people go on working, avoiding or deferring expensive machinery replacement
    * load data into the internal memory & plug the USB-key off : no need to keep the USB-key always plugged in
    * customers rely on a prompt and effective technical support - direct line with the designer

    The EMUFDD emulator is a hardware floppy disk emulator.
    It works like a bridge.

    One side is connected to the CNC / machinery, using the
    floppy disk flat cable: 34pin, 26pin, ...
    it depends on the original floppy drive !

    The other side is the front panel, where you can
    - [USB] plug in standard USB keys with no special format
    - [ETHERNET] plug in the standard RJ45 connector

    I asked the same question... He never just answered directly. I needed to send my machine make/model to him. I lost interest.
    It's likely a great product, but I've also found others for around $50-$400... I believe they cost less than the EMUFDD

    All infos are provided writing an email
    to the EMUFDD customer support.

    Moreover the emulator is a fully
    custom & integrated product,
    not a mass hardware sold "as it is".

    Pricing comes only after collecting exact
    infos about your machinery & control.

    Usually customers appreciate this professional approach.

    I've also found others for around $50-$400... I believe they cost less than the EMUFDD
    No, you can't find any other product even similar to EMUFDD.

    Obviously our focus is on
    • strange/special industrial machinery
    • endurance in harsh industrial environment
    • CNC editing software integration and floppy virtualization
    • floppy disk analysis and support for backup of existing data


    If you simply need to emulate a HD floppy
    on a PC or on a musical keyboard then you
    can simply buy a chinese emulator at 15$.

    It's easy to check that the
    other existing emulators:
    - datex
    - sdcard
    - hxc
    - chinese gotek & richpeace

    don't have the capability to support the TCP/IP standard network.

    Default Re: EMUFDD 4.0 - Floppy HW Emulator (+USB)

    Hi to all.
    I buy chinese GOTEK USB emulator and I plan to use it on CNC machine.
    I tested on my PC and it works with some problems: Directoriums and some files became not visible. These files still exist , and I know that because FREE memory still the same like before I see these files and Dir-s. I will test this again. Does anybody have this kind of experience with GOTEK SFR1M44-U100 ???

    Now I have bigger problem. I bought this USB emulator to install and use on Biese Rover 36 and it doesn't work. I try with all 3 formats: 1.44 ; 1.2 and 720KB format. Does anybody know or have experience with Biese Floppy format? And maybe know dos it need to use other set on Switch Jumpers on GOTEK emulator ???

    I'm ready to share experience about USB floppy emulators.
    Thanks for any help.
    Alex
