  1. Finally convinced myself to buy a so I can emulate these dreaded HP floppy drives before my Sony MP-F52W-30 gives out.

    Will be an interesting exercise to get the config going with

    Amiga 2000 Internally (3,5 bay)
    Amiga (Family) external
    Atari ST (family) External
    Philips MSX 8235
    Philips MSX 8250/55/80

  6. This GoDRIvE is a clone of the Gotek USB floppy disk emulator, but specifically designed for the #Amiga and with a pass-through connector to the original floppy drive. Like the Gotek drive, it also uses the open source #flashfloppy firmware.

    It's too bad I'd need to purchase two different GoDRIvE models for my A500 and my A4000, and they're pricey.

  7. These Gotek floppy emulators with preloaded #FlashFloppy firmware can come in Beige and in Gray, but "Yellowed" Beige is the most popular color 😆

  8. Heute ein wenig Bastelei für die #Revision am Wochenende. Bin mir noch nicht sicher, welches System ich dieses Jahr mitnehme. Wenn ich den #FlashFloppy Emulator für das Gotek Laufwerk geflashed bekomme, wird es vielleicht ein CPC 664 - wobei ich die Keyboard Matrix nochmal anschauen müsste. Mal sehen.

  9. @rc2014 IIRC, I had to make one a while ago to flash the #FlashFloppy firmware on the #Gotek floppy emulator, so they may not be totally useless and still very much #retrocomputing related 😉
    Now, 75 of them...

  10. Anyone up for a game of #Zork on a GM905 system from #GeminiMicrocomputers featuring a #z80 processor, 64K memory and dual #gotek floppy emulators running #FlashFloppy? Eh? 😜

  15. No backup, no mercy.
    I'm currently copying all the previously installed programs from the HDD back to floppy disk images. Cheers and thanks to the inventors of the #FlashFloppy software.

  16. The #Gotek floppy emulator installed on the #Amiga 4000 just fried my USB stick with all my ADF files on it! 🔥

    Good thing I smelled it burning and removed it right away. Also: I still have the ADF files on my laptop 😌

    The #flashfloppy firmware still runs on the Gotek, but doesn't detect another known-good USB stick 😟

  17. If you're a Flashfloppy/Gotek user, and have several different types of them around: *don't* keep your config file on any USB stick you'd want to share between drives. Unless you want all of your drives to be configured the same, which could mean upside-down displays and non-working controls ...

  18. Apparently, it is possible to buy a pre-flashed Gotek to work with #Tektronik #TDS700 #TDS600 scopes. For 170€ incl. shipping.

    Lets see if I can do this for ~40€.

    Ingredients:
    1. #Gotek SFRM72-DU26 (~33€ shipped)
    2. #flashfloppy firmware to make it 1.44 MB
    3. OLED display (2.5€ shipped) 128x32px
    4. 26 pin 1 mm "type B" 200 mm flat flex (3.5€ shipped)

    The flat flex is required to reverse the pinning.
    The OLED is optional but cheap and a huge debugging aid.
    Flashfloppy can be flashed with two USB-A to USB-C cables, an USB-C extension Adapter (A to A cable) and a piece of wire, so basically free (had the parts handy).

    The flat flex will arrive at ~end of december. So maybe this will be an xmas gift to myself...

  23. Hmm so I just ordered some #gotek floppy emulators to bring some 1990s #Tektronix scopes with slim line floppy drive to this millenia.

    They should arrive in ~1 month and need flashing with #flashfloppy (the 720kB varaint costs half of the 1.44MB variant... do they charge by size??)

  24. Prepared a spare #gotek with #flashfloppy for a workmate. He was gifted an #Amiga 500 and wants to test it...

  25. My Gotek is all updated and upgraded!

    Flash floppy ✅
    Rotary encoder ✅
    Piezo buzzer ✅
    128x32 0.91' OLED display ✅

    I had to do a little bit of minor plastic surgery to get the OLED display properly fitted. However it was relatively straightforward with time, care and a very sharp craft blade.

    Next stop is my tower PC, then (eventually) my CPC6128.

  30. Breakthrough: I wrote a program that prints a line of text!
    So what's the point?
    Program written in #rust, cross compiled on #debian, linked with #vlink to a TOS executable {on Windows), put into a disk image on debian and executed on a real ST via a #gotek floppy emulator with #flashfloppy firmware.

  31. Still making progress with my Gotek!

    A rotary encoder and piezo buzzer are now both wired, soldered and fitted.

    I have decided not to use the 16x2 LCD display, just too big... Waiting on some 128x32 0.91' OLED displays - they are ordered and will hopefully arrive today.

    Eventually the Gotek will end up in my CPC6128, but likely it will go into my tower PC first as I want to test it first.
