English Amiga Board - View Single Post - FlashFloppy - new firmware for Gotek drives, open source

Hi guys,

I tried to test the fw, but had no luck with it. It flashed properly and verified the files on the device with no errors. After plugging it into the Amiga the boot sequence would take ages with the drive led on the Amiga on for about 5 seconds while the gotek shows "F-F". Then the drive goes to "000" and the floppy led on the Amiga lights up, but then nothing happens, no loader at all. I tried different versions of the "autoboot. hfe" and copied the cfg-file to the root as well. I tested different USB sticks and even different gotek drives with no success. Any leads?
