And it will be updated from time to time. The Gotek firmware supports only one floppy format correctly, 720K or 1,44MB - depending on which version you purchased.ĭown-"Formatting" an 1,44MB slot to 720KB (or 360K) "works", but has many odd side-effects when software takes a closer look at the emulated floppy.įlashFloppy on the other hand can support 360KB, 720KB, 1,2MB, 1,44MB and many more sizes - regardless of the Gotek hardware version. Thry both allow you to use "original" disk images and some low-level stuff, which the Gotek firmware has trouble with. FlashFloppy and its grandpa (HxC) are much better than the default firmware. I really don't know what kind of checks that installer does, but the only way of running it properly is from real disks. The only disk images I've encountered that just refuse to install are some Dynamix games such as Willy Beamish. If you flash your Gotek with the FlashFloppy firmware you can just copy the image files to the USB drive directly, and the original label from the image will be picked up correctly under DOS. I already owned a KryoFlux by the time I learned of it and my next purchase is probably going to be parts for a sanni reader.How do you install sb pro 2.0 drivers from a gotek floppy? The drive id is different and you cannot change the default floppy000 There's a chart at that link detailing which formats the software for it currently knows how to write, which is also on the GitHub page for the software. If you're poor, you can even use regular pin header and just remember not to connect the cable the wrong way around.)
(Basically, you solder one row of the pins on the floppy connector through the holes on a ready-made FPGA development board and assembly is done. You can make one for $15 (plus shipping). No ordering custom boards, no fiddly surface mount assembly, and no fuss: nineteen simpler solder joints and you’re done. The hardware consists of a single, commodity part with a floppy drive connector soldered onto it. (Although not all of these are supported yet. It allows you to use a conventional PC drive to accept Amiga disks, CLV Macintosh disks, bizarre 128-sector CP/M disks, and other weird and bizarre formats.
The Flu圎ngine is a very cheap USB floppy disk interface capable of reading and writing exotic non-PC floppy disk formats. If you’re in a hurry and want a plug-and-play solution for just a disk or two, this might be worth a shot. If you want something more flexible than a USB floppy drive, but barely more expensive, and you're OK with beginner-level through-hole soldering and a command-line interface on the reading/writing tool, take a look at the Flu圎ngine. Option 1: Use a New USB Floppy Drive If you browse Amazon, Newegg, or even eBay, you’ll find many inexpensive (anywhere from 10 to 30) modern USB 3.5-inch floppy drives.
