COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY Compact Flash Floppy CFF 011 CFF 011 The Compact Flash floppy drive is designed as a replacement for the current 3.5" floppy drive; it should be used to replace the existing floppy drive and store the data on a Compact Flash card. The CF card provides the capacity of several disks, which can selected using buttons. The selection is shown on a 2-digit display; an LED shows the active status.

CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY Setting the Jumper X3: If a jumper is set on pin 1 and 2, the floppy inputs are terminated with 680 Ohms. Using this drive in older systems with long connection lines or in combination with 5 ¼ " drives require, in some circumstances, a low-ohm line termination on the end of the floppy cable. This termination can then be activated by setting jumpers on the last drive in the line.
COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 Buttons Depending on the capacity and formatting, 1 – 99 disks can be stored on the Compact Flash card. The individual diskettes can be selected with 2 buttons. If the highest possible diskette is reached through pressing the button, the counter starts at diskette 1 with the next press of the button. If the lowest possible diskette is reached, the counter then starts with the highest diskette. When both buttons are pressed simultaneously, the firmware version is displayed.
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY Displays If no compact card is in the slot, the display remains in the off state. As soon as a card is inserted, the program version blinks several times and then the selected diskette is shown. Special cases Display Definition no 1. The card is not formatted and no container file is available. 2. No sufficient supply is connected. FF An access error has occurred on the Compact Flash card.

COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 Wiring and Mounting Instructions Earth Connection It is important to establish a low-Ohm connection to ground to ensure error-free function. The earth connection must be made with the maximum cross section and largest electrical surface possible. To establish a sufficient connection to ground, a ground cable must be connected to the marked threads on the back of the device.
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY Compact Flash Floppy Tool Free download under: http://www.sigmatek-automation.com/en/products/special-applications/diskette-emulator/cff-011/ under the section Downloads. The Compact Flash Floppy Tool allows data on a 3.5" diskette drive to be stored on a Compact Flash card and reverse. The compact flash card provides the capacity of several diskettes ("images"). Depending on the capacity and formatting, 1 – 99 disks can be stored on the Compact Flash card.
COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 1. Using a New Compact Flash To configure a new or newly formatted Compact Flash card for the drive, the following steps must be followed. a) Open the "CompactFlashFloppyTool.exe" file. If no compact flash is inserted, the following window appears: 10.02.
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY If a new or newly formatted (wit FAT16 or FAT32, non NTFS) compact flash card is inserted, the following dialog appears. The drive description (i.e.: drive W), capacity (61 Mbytes) and file system (FAT32) of the compact flash card is displayed. b) Press the window. button to open the " Create Sigmatek container file" Under "Container Name", a user-defined container name can be assigned.
COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 With the "Copy program to the Flash card" control box, the Compact Flash Floppy Tool is stored on the Compact Flash card. Depending on the storage capacity of the Compact Flash used, the available memory space for images ("diskettes") can be reduced. . The "Create autorun.inf file" box, the Compact Flash Floppy Tool is automatically started as long as the autostart function in Windows is activated. This option does not reduce the space available for diskette images.
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY 2. Settings With a mouse click on the program symbol in the upper left corner of the Compact Flash Floppy Tool window, a menu with the following entries is opened: An overview of selectable points Selection Application settings Registration of .SFP file ending Menu symbols Function Here, various application settings can be changed. The program adds the file ending of the Sigmatek container file to the registry of the computer being used.
COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 The "Application settings" window appears as shown below: When the control box "Show all removable Drives" is activated, the program detects all removable drives using the manufacturer/product description (system manager). This is then shown in the program window under "removable drives" and the desired Compact Flash can be selected. In the input line, an external program can be entered with which Compact Flash images can be edited (i.e. WinImage from www.winimage.com).
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY 3. Overview of Program Functions Button Function Copies diskette to Compact Flash – copy data from the diskette to the Compact Flash card. Copy diskette to image file – copies the image files from the disk to the hard drive (for later use). Copy image files to the Compact Flash – copies the image files from the hard drive to the Compact Flash card. Copy image file to diskette – copies the image files from the hard drive to the diskette.
COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 Additional functions in Expert mode Button Function Hex view Compact Flash image – display mode of the select Compact Flash image (single entry) in the hexadecimal system Hex view Compact Flash – display mode of Compact Flash data in the hexadecimal system Hex View Floppy – display mode of floppy disk data in the hexadecimal system Using the "FPGA Update" button, updates can be selected and loaded. 10.02.
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY 4. Editing Compact Flash Images This example demonstrates the editing of a Compact Flash image using WinImage (www.winimage.com). An empty Compact Flash image ("diskette”) was renamed "REZEPTUR_01". Next we would like to save a text document called "Recipe_Batter" from the desktop in the "image REZEPTUR_01". The Compact Flash image ("diskette") also be marked or selected (blue background). Click on the button to start WinImage (See point 2 "Application settings").
COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY CFF 011 A window then appears: Click "Yes" to confirm. The text document is now loaded in the WinImage. Save and close WinImage using the button The WinImage program can now be closed. In the following window, confirm the changes: The process is now complete. Using the button, the stored file can be displayed With "DEL/Enft" or with a click with the right mouse button and "Delete File", files can be deleted from the "diskette". 10.02.
CFF 011 COMPACT FLASH FLOPPY 5. Defragmentation of the compact flash If the compact flash appears to be fragmented, the following is displayed: So that a Compact Flash can be used for a Sigmatek container file, a "start sector" must be set. If a start sector cannot be set, the Compact Flash must be defragmented (recommended: HDiskDefrag von http://www.withopf.com/tools/hdiskdefrag). This process can take several minutes.
