Too bad, I've been waiting for this implementation for a long time :(

Don't worry, it will come.

Also add an instant access FDC to work around the FDC dynamic recompiler problems.

I have made the decision to keep 86F as is and instead add a new 86R format based on modified MFM, because I already have the code for that for both 86Box and HxC.

Thanks So in the future it will be possible to convert the flux image in 86R and 86F with HxC Software?

Actually, we have now made the decision to only keep 86F, at the current version 2.12, since it alreadysupports everything needed. So I just need to write proper 86F v2.12 support for HxC and that's it.

I think this is pointless now - 86S was going to just be a kludge to run stuff like DBase III when there was no way to convert stuff to 86F, but since we now have dbalsom's Fluxfox and Digiton's convert to converrt stuff to 86F, it's no longer needed. As such, I'm closing this.
