Now i have a fast and easy way to watch new and old Atari software on my real 1040 STE.
The Gotek drive ( external with 0.96 Oled display btw.) boots .st if you set the jumper to M0 wether the internal drive is without power or not.
With the jumper on S1 i could use it as drive B but it did not boot from there if drive A was empty.
My machine has the Rainbow TOS 1.62.
I like the sound it makes during loading, its a nice feature.
Delivery was flawless and the contact with Ed was friendly.
Altogether i am quite happy to have bought this hardware and grateful someone still builds things like this in our day.
This Gotek floppy emulator is working fine on the first try with my old Atari STF. I tried it as internal drive and also as external drive (set jumper to S1 instead S0). Perfect.
Thanks to Ed for his kindness and advice.
The Gotek Floppy Emulator is a really nice implementation of a flash drive for the good old Atari ST.
I ordered it along with a deluxe cable adapter (which came with a nice enclosure for the plug from a 3D printer).
The emulator works like a charm, I had to disconnect the internal drive for the normal operation (to setup the disks in the AUTOBOOT menu).
Should also work as drive B when pre-configured. Booting (is not guaranteed) I haven't tested so far, when connected as drive B.
But as a drive A it all works like a charm. On top: Fair process in the ordering. No unannounced lead times.
Money is requested only when the order is on its way. Ed is a wonderful Retro ST Guru, thank you!
Super handig product, mooi gemaakt en werkt perfect. Ik kan iedereen aanraden er eentje aan te schaffen.
Ook de service van gotek.nl is 5 sterren waard!!
This Gotek-Floppy-Emulator is exactly what I wanted. Now I can load the *.st Images by USB-Stick to my ATARI ST. The has a nice ATARI-Design, the OLED 0.96-Display gives precise information and the Rotary-Button makes it comfortable to choose the image. I can recomend this device, thanks a lot.
