Nope, but they are not really suited for creating adfs anyway. You should use transdisk or some other tool in workbench or shell and save the adfs to your hard drive.
Then naturally you will need to be able to use them, these hardware floppy emulators will not do high density, so you would install an image file driver to amigaos and read the contents when the os is running. |

I like this one: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage
It requires a bit of thought when installing, you should take a close look inside the different dosdrivers and install the ones you need, changing the names + ordering the unit numbers as you go. |

Has anybody actually tried this IR mod?
I have followed all instructions but unable to get this sync'ed with the keychain remote... I'm stuck so any experience with this mod would be helpful as I've started to pull my hair out looking for what I have missed putting this all together Quote:

Feature Request:
I'd really love for a complete UI overhaul, I was mucking about with XTree Gold recently and it occurred to me that an 80 Column split screen view with SD Card on the Left and Floppy Queue on the Right (or even split top to bottom for improved file name visibility). Across the Top or Bottom of the screen you could map out all the Function Keys for the various commands/functions and you could use the direction keys for navigating each panel with TAB to switch between panels. IMHO it would make for a much more user friendly and simpler to manage HxC system. Here's what XTG can look like so you get the idea: and an older version: |

After running through a bunch of issues this weekend I have realized that the Gotek is pickier with which USB sticks you put in it than I originally thought, at least running Cortex firmware.
What's the community's consensus on which brands and models are best to use with Goteks? |

I've generally had good success with pretty much all Sandisk drives with cortex or HxC firmware.

FYI The new HxC File selector is now compatible with the Cortex Firmware since this one use the HxC Direct access protocol... The difference is the "config file" and a different ID code. Wasn't too hard to adapt... :

I think at this point the Cortex firmware can retire, there's absolutely no reason to use it anymore.

I can see that many still have it and lots of them will not upgrade to another firmware since they was directly sold programmed 'as it is' without easy way to upgrade it. So think that a new selector may be a good news for these cases.

It works well and I can actually see the full filenames and disk numbers now.
Nice job |

I am really happy I upgraded all 3 of my Goteks (going through the hassle of ordering that serial device to program them) to HXC firmware (2 of my 5 was bought with the HXC firmware pre-installed) looking at how much Jeff_HxC2001 has been supporting and improving it. I feel pretty safe that all my 5 Goteks has a firmware that is constantly being worked on and improved.

Hi, I wonder if some electronics savvy person can help me identify some cheap eBay items suitable for the sound mod. The kits sold are expensive for what they are plus postage on top... I need to do 2 mods at least so if I have more its not a problem.
I know there is a piezo buzzer, 1k resistor and a transistor but which? eBay links would be real handy - thanks ;-) |

These instructions are for the HxC Floppy Emulator firmware. The direct direct sound output was introduced by this firmware. Cortex actually need the step signal hack (wish i don't recommend at all). |

Hi guys,
Got my gotek for cheap, like 9 bucks on a local store that sell ancient electronics (one of these places that recycle hardware from offices; love to spend hours searching between mountains of CRT and racks of old Windows machines ). I did flash it no problem with Flash floppy (0.92 I believe; the latest on their github page), and tried a 128 GB USB stick from Samsung, formatted as FAT32 with the config and boot file; but no matter what, the floppy does not work. When I turn on the 1200, I get the F-F on display; if I put the USB stick in it it goes to 000; but that's it. The bootloader never load when I boot the amiga; it goes directly into WB from the CF card adapter. If I disable the CF card; the amiga boot and then it say "no disk in DF0:"; so I never get to boot into the loader where you assign the adf files to each position. I tried to remove the config and bootloader file, and just put ADF; and that seems to work better; since when I cycle through the positions, I can see the number changing; although the amiga refuse to load anything, either if I boot with DH0: disabled or if I have WB loaded and try to cycle through the various ADF. I am sure that the ADF should show in WB at least, since they are DP4 and Octamed; so they should appear on the workbench. AS far as the connector, it seems to be connected as the original drive (red cable is on the opposite of power connector); I did put back the original Amiga drive and it works fine; so the cable is fine and there is power going to the connector as it should. The green light goes on, the red light flash briefly when I switch disks, but that's all that it does. I am not sure where the problem is at this point; the flashing went fine; the device seems to be recognized by the Amiga (otherwise when I disable everything but the DF0; it would show me the ROM animation to insert a disk, and not the CLI with the error message that there is no disk in DF0), and the ADF works fine on Windows via WinUAE; so either I should try with a smaller USB drive or I need to try with some sacrifice to the Commodore deity. |
