Gotek as external floppy drive not working
Hi guys,
back from a long absence with my amiga collection and one of the first things i was trying to test was a gotek drive as df1: on an external case. I'm testing it on an a2000 with os1.3 but all i get is a df2:bad icon. The gotek is flashed with the latest flashfloppy firmware.No jumpers on the unit. Any help appreciated.

Provide some pictures of your Gotek connections and jumpers, and external adapter/controller you are using.
But, there needs to be a jumper on s0. |

In the A2000 the first external drive will be df2 as you noticed.
Bad? Any adf inserted in the gotek? |

It means the drive is recognized, and the drive reports a disk in, but it is unreadable. Some further configuration is needed.

Yes you're right. I should clarify that DF2:Bad means the drive is recognized but no adf/image file cannot be mounted because it's unreadable.
