There's two buttons on the front of the drive, that you use to access the different partitions. New version includes a buzzer which emulates the floppy drive sound and two LEDs. The Internal version for Amiga 500, Amiga 600, and Amiga 1200 is available here.
The Black version of Gotek is available here. (otherwize there are shareware that will let you extract the files from an image, and then put them on the partition). The Gotek-USB Floppy Emulator can replace different kind of floppy disk drive and allows you use USB stick memories instead floppy disks. It also lets you access each partition, to put files on there - IIRC the softare also lets you use a floppy image file, to put the files inside the image onto a partition. The software I mentioned formats the usb-stick into 100 small partitions, the size of floppies. No, there were no problems for the MB to recognize the drive. Been moving to a new house, which has taken a long time. Hey - sorry for a very slow response-time. Does it store the OS on the disk as two separate floppies & if so how do you switch to the virtual "disc 2" ? Did you have any problems with the motherboard recognizing it. I bought a floppy emulator but have never installed it. It worked perfectly! Their software is in english.Īnyway, just thought i'd share it with anyone else getting too annoyed with the floppy challenge. However, I had read somewhere, that these drives are a close copy of ones that the german company "ipcas" makes, so I went to their website and downloaded the software for their drive: The software came on a very small cd, and was mostly in chineese. The biggest problems with these seemed to be the software used to put floppy images on the usb stick that the drive uses. It took a while to arrive, but I finaly got it, and it works wonders. Mostly these seems to be made in china and sold from there, but for the cheap price I was willing to risk it. I ended up making an order for the cheapest one I could find: It turns out that there are actually a variety of different companies that makes these thingies, with a quite wide range in price. My searches brought me around amazon where I found some "floppy emulators".

This made me try out various other ways to install the software. I had no floppies lying around, and neither did anyone I knew.Īfter driving around some, I eventually found a computer shop that sold me one, which then turned out to be nonfunctional when i got home. However the new harddrives required that I reinstalled the OS, and here it got tricky: I've been fiddling with new powersupplies and more quiet processor coolers, and also new/bigger harddrives. Note: further description of using the software on page 2 in the thread.
