When searching ebay for 'floppy emulator', most hits state that they are for musical instraments or sewing machines. At least one mentions PC compatability in the description. Can someone verify that this one will work?

I am not familiar with "paid HxC firmware"

I am not affiliated. HxC is a proprietary floppy emulator device designed and manufactured for one man for a great variety of devices. Its fantastic firmware that has support for dozens of image formats and a lot of nifty features has been ported to run on Gotek and can be installed onto it, but costs 10 EUR.
