Problems with cased SD Floppy Emulator and A500

I got an SD Floppy Emulator for Xmas and I was planning to use it with my A500, but I seem to be having some strange problems with it. Basically the Amiga refuses to read disk images and gets "stuck" on the second track of the disk image. Changing the jumpers on the Emulator and switching around the floppy cable on the Amiga end didn't work; I also tried different floppy cables and different SD cards and those didn't work either. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on? Here's a video of someone else having the exact same problem: [ Show youtube player ]

Yes, I converted all my disk images and I also have the Emulator set to auto boot with the proper autoboot image.

I noticed strange behaviour of mine HxC with stock PSU. I changed to Pico PSU and it working perfect. Maybe yours doesn't have enough juice?

No, the guy on the video don't have the same problem as you : he have just damaged his floppy cable by pulling the floppy cable.
the signal "Disk Changed" is cutted...
Please follow my advices on the HxC Support Forum.
