A GoTek floppy emulator or the SD HxC Floppy Emulator which I use, aren't faster but they sure don't go bad as some older floppies have. A large portion of my floppies from the 80's and 90's survived very well..and I was able to convert them to ADFs without problems. Once in a while the Main Boot Floppy imagine for my SD HxC has been corrupted (I keep backups of changes I've made). But it is a lot nicer to switch via buttons or close to automatic when DF0 to DF1 are emulated on my A4000. Than swapping floppies. I'd prefer to use actual ADFs, so I might go GoTek at some point.
I still slide floppy disks into the drive, rather than letting them slam in as I've seen a lot of people do. My drives still function very well, where others have failed.
Sometimes I miss looking AT the floppies and seeing how the names of something were written, or codes written..etc, but..most floppies can be modified for that.
