So I decided to get an SD HxC Floppy Emulator which arrived today yay :D


I've been reading the guide on here and the online documentation and was hoping for some help regarding setting it up as I'm a bit useless with these sort of things and am worried I will mess it up!


I have got hold of the version which comes in a case as well as a ribbon cable to connect it externally to my 6128 and a power cable from ebay:

I've read that I could potentially damage the emulator when connecting the power cable so my question is (a stupid one I know!) which way round do I connect it? Should the two wires be nearest the jumpers??


Regarding the jumpers - as I want to connect it externally how do I set them? I'm a little confused as all of the pictures online show the version without the case which is slightly laid out slightly differently!


Apologies for these stupid questions but I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to tech so I appreciate your patience!


Thanks in advance!
