I want to upload Ubuntu and I manage to do it then the file disappears

Answer by Akash Shah

Hello! It sounds like you are having an issue with writing Ubuntu to a floppy disk using a "Floppy Emulator" program. Here are a few things to check:

  • Make sure the floppy disk has enough storage capacity for the version of Ubuntu you are trying to upload. Modern versions of Ubuntu require much more space than a typical floppy disk can provide.
  • Check if the file system format of the floppy disk is compatible with the file you are trying to write. Floppy disks often use FAT12 or similar formats, which may not support large files.
  • Verify that the "Floppy Emulator" is configured correctly and supports writing large files or ISO images if that's what you're trying to do.
  • If the file appears to disappear, ensure the writing process is completed and not interrupted prematurely. Also, verify the file listing in the emulator to see if it's being hidden somehow.

Typically, Ubuntu is distributed via ISO files meant for CDs, DVDs, or USB drives due to their larger storage capacity. You might want to consider using a different method for creating a bootable Ubuntu media, such as a USB stick.

The Data Bus wiring on the Exidy is the 34 pin standard floppy drive wireing.

Answer by Rajesh Gupta

It is possible to set up the Floppy Emulator to run with an Exidy Sorcerer computer, as the data bus wiring is the same as the standard floppy drive wiring. However, specific steps and compatibility may vary. It is recommended to consult the Floppy Emulator documentation and seek support from the manufacturer or community forums for further assistance.

Answer by Stephen Prastman

You can't use the Floppy Emulator with the equivalent of 1000 floppies. According to the description on the developer's website, you can use Floppy Emulator and the device with up to 100 floppies.
