I have a bunch of files as sit files that I would like to transfer, but I can’t because the mac can’t see them…it would be really appreciated to get at least the barebone info about how to set up the software on the SD card to use this device. Thanks. For example, 3.5 inch disk images won’t be displayed if the Emu is in 5.25 inch disk mode. The floppy EMU can write disk images as well. I’m assuming the reason for the 512 bytes has nothing to do the emulator, and everything to do with holding down to standards. Anything this would bring to the table the other doesn’t or viceversa?

Sorry you’re having trouble, Peter. I’m just received my Floppy Emu. I’ve not tried an Eye-fi SD card myself, but yes I think you’re right. Second: I read somewhere in the instructions an alarm on running the emu board under the Apple II mode while the emu is inserted in a Mac machine (since this may damage the emu or the computer).

I wouldn’t worry. It won’t win any design awards but it works well. Thank you Bryan but I kind of need a visual. I’ve used a pair of Emus without cases for about two years, so they’re pretty rugged in normal use. It just wasn’t a fun experience trying to read the display while barely a couple of inches way from a toasty death by CRT!
