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.
