17 October 2017: Firmware STM32 USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.0.33.1a

- Config-Less Mode :

Use the settings saved into the device internal flash memory and
switch to normal/direct selection mode when no HXCSDFE.CFG are present.

To change settings without config file, just use the embedded config menu
(Remove the USB Stick and press both buttons to enter it).

NOTE : Without HXCSDFE.CFG the last image selection is not saved.

- More CPC DSK format variant support.(again !)

03 December 2017: Firmware STM32 USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.1.0.4a

Major update !

- New direct file formats support (Read & Write !) :
- Acorn machines : *.ADL,*.ADM,*.SSD,*.DSD and *.ADF file support
- Camputer Lynx : *.LDF
- Commodore C64 : *.D81
- Thomson machines : *.FD
- Sam Coupé : *.SAD, *.MGT
- MSX Machines : *.IMG, *.DSK
- Spectrum : *.TRD, *.SDD

- New menu entry : Target system family selection.
This reduce a lot the risk of erroneous raw file identification.

- Lots of RAW file support improvements :
All sector sizes supported, advanced track skew and interleaving support.
FM & MFM support.

- Amstrad CPC DSK support : Fix for the One Disk/double sided Batman demo.

- Fix attempt of the "diymore.cc" OLED screens : OLED init screen delay
menu option added.
(Note : Please avoid these "diymore.cc" screens until i got an idea
what is the root cause of the issue.)

- Internal improvement : Track cache layer improved, RAW files support/identification improved.

Please report any issue to hxc2001 <at> hxc2001.com
Thanks !
