![]() Or checking the gallery of microcontrollers in the various Gotek’s. That also meant checking the processor type, which, is simple enough to check by opening it up, and setting your camera to maximum zoom. And Obviously I flashed my drive to the latest version of flashfloppy ( 3.41 as of now.). The other catch is that it absolutely required a FF.cfg file interface = ibmpc-hdoutĮven though so many other systems didn’t need it, mine sure did. S0 puts the gotek into the first floppy position, in the older PC/XT/AT’s they jumper every drive as S1, but have a twist in the cable to negate it on the primary position. While I had read that JC was also needed, it just didn’t work when I tried. Yes I don’t know what is up with the shipping either.Īfter a lot of trial and error I found jumpering it for S0 was what worked. I didn’t want to fight it that much so instead I ordered an adapter from eBay, being sold by markgm. ![]() You can try to add an old floppy to the mix, but there is 5 pins that need to be held high through a resistor pack to get an old floppy drive working. The PS/2 version uses and edge connection and integrates the 5v/12v power rails into the interface. What this also means is that the old 34pin floppy ribbon will not do. That means they removed loose wiring where possible to give not only great airflow, but an overall clean aesthetic to the PS/2 build. The PS/2 model of computers went away from the PC/XT/AT design for something that would be more toolless and allow for more automation in the building & assembling of these machines. But until that point it’s a lot of trail and error. Well like everything else, once you know what to do, its pretty self explanatory and easy.
