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.

You can select images and see the floppy emulator status on the machine’s screen without any additional software or LCD/OLED screen !
No need to make holes in the machine case anymore ;)
