ZX Spectrum HxC File Selector

The ZX Spectrum HxC file selector is designed to conveniently select and mount disk image files on a Gotek flash drive directly from the ZX Spectrum.

The current version is designed to run on ZX Spectrums with Beta Disk Interface and 128kb of memory. Support for other ZX Spectrum disk systems may be implemented in future releases.

Gotek HxC or FlashFloppy firmware is required.

Usage

PLEASE BACK UP YOUR FLASH DRIVE CONTENTS BEFORE USE!

• Download the latest release.
• Copy the AUTOBOOT.HFE and HXCSDFE.CFG files from the ZIP archive to the root folder of the USB pen drive.
• Use the cursor keys and Enter (or the Kempston joystick) to navigate.
• Pressing Enter/Fire on a disk image file mounts it to slot 1 and resets the machine to TR-DOS.
• To return to the file selector, select slot 0 manually and reset the machine.

Limitations

• Only FAT32 is supported.
• The current version is limited to 255 files per folder.
• Folders and files with names containing non-ASCII chars may not be displayed correctly.
