AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026CPC 6128 Floppy Adapterby Lotharek

Converts the CPC 6128's internal 26-pin floppy connection to a standard 34-pin Shugart interface.

The Lotharek page exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Installation requires soldering the adapter in place of the original flat cable. A replacement drive or HxC emulator is not included, and the attached device still needs the correct configuration, power, mounting, and media setup.

AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026DriveRDYby Boris Krizma / Lotharek

Generates the Amiga READY signal so a compatible 3.5-inch PC floppy mechanism can replace an Amiga drive.

The product exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27 and was tested with more than forty mechanisms from several manufacturers. It operates only in double-density mode. Some Alps and Mitsumi drives place their power connector where DriveRDY physically overlaps it. Human review confirms the simple inline fit but supplies no exact Amiga model, cable-orientation, drive-select, or chassis evidence, so the existing interface-based relationships remain conditional.

AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026Gotek Floppy Emulator with FlashFloppyby Gotek and Keir Fraser

Replaces supported 34-pin floppy drives with disk images stored on a USB flash drive.

FlashFloppy directly supports most SFR-prefix Goteks with a 34-pin header. Do not buy a UFA-prefix USB-floppy model; 26-pin DU26 and TU26 models require modification, and the project recommends avoiding the FDD-UDD U144K. Gotek's maker site accepts only wholesale orders of at least ten, while the linked specialty catalog lists several individually priced, configured units. Confirm the microcontroller, installed firmware, front-panel fit, cable orientation, power, and host-specific jumpers before installation. Initial FlashFloppy programming may require a boot jumper and a USB programming cable or USB-TTL adapter.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026HxC SD Floppy Emulator Familyby HxC2001 and Lotharek

Replaces compatible 34-pin floppy drives with read/write disk images on SD or SDHC media.

All fourteen Rev C, Rev F, and MAX hardware variants exposed current login-or-register-to-buy paths on 2026-07-27. Rev C and Rev F use a standard floppy 5 V supply; the manual specifies at least 400 mA and says the 12 V line is unused. MAX accepts either 5 V over Micro-USB or 7-12 V center-positive DC power. Verify pin 1, drive-select jumpers, cable twists, voltage, and physical fit before connection: some computers reverse the usual 5 V and 12 V floppy-power positions, and incorrect power can damage both emulator and host. The firmware reads and writes supported images but does not reproduce variable-bit-rate protection completely; IPF and STX support is partial.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026HxC Slim SD Floppy Emulator Familyby HxC2001 and Lotharek

Adds read/write SD floppy emulation in compact 34-pin and 26-pin FPC forms.

All five Lotharek Slim variants exposed current login-or-register-to-buy paths on 2026-07-27. Choose the 34-pin HE10 or 1 mm 26-pin FPC version for the host; the 26-pin form requires the manual's ID0A setting. Supply regulated 5 V and verify the host connector, voltage, pin 1, drive select, cable, and mounting before connection. The manual specifies at least 300 mA and a 500 mA maximum figure. The firmware reads and writes supported images but does not reproduce variable-bit-rate protection completely; IPF and STX support is partial.

AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026HxC USB Floppy Emulator Familyby HxC2001 and Lotharek

Streams read-only floppy images from a modern USB host to compatible 34-pin drives or an Amiga external-floppy adapter.

The standalone unit, cable set, and Ami2PC bundle exposed current login-or-register-to-buy paths on 2026-07-27. The official HxC home page and release notes show that the software project remains active in 2026. The unit needs a modern computer running the HxC host software and emulates disks read-only. The standalone set includes a 40 cm floppy ribbon and USB A-to-B cable; Ami2PC instead adds the Amiga external-floppy adapter. Never connect or disconnect the 34-pin or Amiga-side cable while USB is attached; disconnect USB first. Ami2PC can use Amiga disk-copy software to write a real disk in DF0 from an emulated DF1. Its early-boot workflow needs Kickstart 2.0 or newer. The seller still does not identify which oldest Amigas need its unspecified modification, so do not rely on early-model boot support without separate instructions.

Sold outChecked Jul 15, 2026SuperCard Proby CBMSTUFF.COM

Connects a modern computer or serial controller to a 34-pin floppy drive for low-level flux capture, analysis, and disk duplication.

Human review confirmed that SuperCard Pro was not currently available on 2026-07-15; the official page says "Advanced Version Coming Soon!" Check the direct page for a future release. SuperCard Pro requires a PC-compatible 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch drive, a 34-pin cable, and suitable drive power; Amiga 3.5-inch drives are explicitly incompatible. Floppy-emulator firmware described as planned is not treated as a current feature.
