Hxc2001 to make a dump of my disks

Howto make a dump from the disks of the SUN Machine? Well follow the screenshots…

You can find the software here: https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_drive_emulator/

Look for the file: ‘HxCFloppyEmulator_soft.zip’

I made use of an old laptop from HP a NX9010. But in in essence you can use any PC with a 3.5″ diskette drive

Note: the Sun machines use some extra sectors on the diskettes, these are the copy protection. You can see them popping up in the ‘read’ screen. Next to the green block of copied sectors.

You need to have the Shugart read mode enabled for that, but in my example the ‘auto’mode detects this. But when you have issues please set the read mode first to shugart and try again. Maybe it helps.

See for more information the following topic: https://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?t=865

 

And at the end, share them on the internet so everyone can use them!
