Since most computers sold today do not come with a stock floppy or zip drive, the next alternative you have is to purchase one from a store or online retailer. If so, it looks similar to the image below. One thing I'm going to do today is get a smaller thumb drive. If you have 3.5 inch floppy disks, your computer might even have a drive built in. Will keep trying to figure it out after work today, we want to make some chips!! I had two friends who are very good with computers try to figure it out and it stumped both of them so I don't feel so bad now.lol. I thought with a Haas the program has to be named something like O1000. I have tried naming it different things also.
I have the program saved multiple ways, and can read it on the computer in "notepad". After doing that though I cant read it on the computer, it comes up saying corrupted file? I also cant seem to get a program off my computer onto the thumb drive in one of the "floppies". If I put this in the Haas VF3 it seems to accept the program already in the machine using F2, it does not alarm out. I have the USB stick formatted to 100 floppies using ipacs software. Worked on it all night and here is where I'm at. I'll try to check back tomorrow when I am back at work where all my stuff is at!

I ran into the exact same thing a while ago on our GOTEK drive and at the time the big hurdle was getting the USB drive formatted to a floppy drive but you had to use GOTEK's software to format it correctly. Then on your Haas go to "List Program", type in the file name and hit F3 (I think?) and it should download it to your list. For instance, if you save your program in floppy folder 3 make sure your drive says 3 as well. Make sure the seven segment display on your USB-Floppy drive says "1" (or just matches whichever virtual floppy drive you save your program to). The trouble I am having is how do I open ONE of the "floppies" on the usb and load the program on it?Open the Gcode file in a text editor or something and save it as a Oxxxx.NC file in floppy 001. THANK YOU for the help, I cant wait to run our first part. To be clear, this product is designed to be mounted in/on an actual TRS-80, as a drive on the floppy cable. The SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator designed by Jean-François Del Nero, emulates a 34 pin floppy drive and treats DSK and DMK images which are stored on a SD card as actually floppy disks.

Now I have to figure out how to get the program I was sent via e-mail onto it. HxC Floppy Drive Replacement for a REAL Model I/III/4. Ok, I got the usb formatted into 99 1.39mb "floppies".
