Release v0.4.4a: Improved power-on initialisation:
- Initialises the floppy interface sooner - Start at cyl-0 (as a real drive would, after power-on calibration) - No spurious step command at power on. https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/releases |

Excellent news!
Would it be possible for you to keep adding binaries with the sources as you have done before? Thanks! |

I fitted an internal Gotek with HxC firmware to my 6128.
I might be tempted to buy another Gotek and install FlashFloppy in my spare 6128. Need to see if an OLED screen can be fitted into the front of a Gotek, that would be a nice little upgrade. On the Amiga I have an external display as the drive is on the side, but with the CPC6128 the drive is facing you, so an upgraded display on the actual Gotek would be best. |

This project is very nice! Looking forward to see how this develops. And thanks to kaffer for taking his time doing this!

Hey kaffer, do you think this will work on an Ensoniq Mirage synth? Or an Ensoniq SQ-80 (I am guessing the floppy interface is the same Shugart type)
I think it might need .IMG support though. Dunno if even HxC supports the Mirage and how. |

Supports DD disks via HFE image format. If the synths have non-Shugart interface or use HD disks then it won't work at the mo.

I found online this list of disk drives that work on it: Shugart SA300 Single-sided Epson SPM-3924 Single-sided Panasonic JU324 Single-sided Panasonic JU364 Single-Sided Panasonic JU254 Double-sided Panasonic JU-253-243P TEAC FD235HF 3240 TEAC FD-35E-02-U NEC ND-352TH-A NEC FD 1035 "You can install almost all double-sided PC-style drives in a Mirage--the Mirage will look at only one side of the drive" So hardware-wise, the unit should be ready, but what about those disk images? You think I can just chuck a double-sided HFE and it won't mind? I use DD Disks with my synths and they work. |

Excellent! I must try this.
The main problem is opening the Mirage. It's, well, not so fun. I've done it before :P Maybe I should do it when I finally get an extra filter to replace the one that died on me. |

Latest release v0.5.0a:
- Fixes reliability issues when used with Amiga 1200. Drive would often not be detected, especially on warm reboot and accelerated 1200s. I would like to remove the alpha/prerelease tag soon. Please test and report any issues! |

You're unstoppable!
Is the firmware still performing oddly on accelerated systems? |

So I just asked this in the Gotek HXC thread aswell, but would it be possible two emulate two drives (DF0 and DF1) on one Gotek?
