I see your point. Always better to have IPF support on your floppy emulator than no IPF support.

So my Gotek flashkit arrived today. Have soldered pins onto one of my Goteks and also sent a mail to Jeff. I used this email: <e-mail address removed>

I hope it's the correct address to use. btw, haven't seen him in the forums in quite a while so hope he is doing well and that I can buy HXC firmware from him.

Edit: Jeff's last activity in this forum was 11th of july this year. I really hope I can buy the firmware from him still.

I got mine a could of weeks ago. No worries. I realized you really don't even have to email him separately. He's just going to reply telling you to send 10 Euro to his pay pal with the same email address. Technically you could just send him the money I guess. I don't know if he uses your email as a heads up to get things setup first. I doubt it because the email you send from might not be the same as your pay pal email.

Rambling now. Don't worry. Be happy.

Unless he died since then. Hope not. But always a possibility.

Oops, not same email. Maybe that's why.

Just send 10 Euros per one device to <e-mail address removed>.
(paypal)

Thanks for the info. But think I will wait with the payment until he answers my email. Two Goteks ready for flashing here now.

Sinphaltimus · 01 November 2016, 19:36

Sweet. I still have to pay another 10 to do my second. It's on Cortex at the moment but I want to do the lcd mod.

turrican9 · 01 November 2016, 19:57

I'm refreshing my gmail account every second. still no response from <snip> as requested by Jeff

I know Jeff visits the forum quite regularly. Register there and leave a message in the Gotek thread.

Thanks. I see there are a few people in the forum having waited quite a long time with no answer from him regarding firmware purchase.

Edit: Looks like he visited his own forum: Last visited: Wed Oct 26, 2016 10:10 pm

This can get annoying if it takes days or weeks for him to answer because I have two Gotek PCBs out of their cases with pins soldered onto them and ready to go. These are just some pins I put on there for flashing which I will remove later.

Arnie · 01 November 2016, 20:48

I guess he could have e-mailed them or pm'd them (not sure if you can pm people on that forum) after being made aware that they were still waiting.

I have registered over there and cannot find any way to PM other people

Arnie · 01 November 2016, 20:59

I would then just add your post to the list of others and wait for a reply.

I have just waited about 4 or 5 hours. I'm not a very patient person when I want something.

Lol, you'll get a response, I've been buying the HxC firmware since he released it and his service is always excellent.

I'd say if 4-5 hours is a long time..

He's just a guy, not a robot and probably not sitting at his computer 24/7. Maybe he's away visiting family for a few days or busy with work like most other people. In any case, I'm sure he'll get back to you before long.

I was expecting him to sit there and refresh his email every second

If the mail exists and you transferred as gift, they are probably lost. But try to put a ticket with paypal.
