Versuche gerade meinen #CPC664 mit einem #Gotek #Floppy #Emulator auszustatten. Habe die letzten paar Tage deshalb fleißig #FreeCAD genutzt und eine Halterung entworfen. Jetzt muss nur noch der Deckel passen und die Tastaturfolie funktionieren (da gehen derzeit wieder einige Tasten nicht . #Amstrad #Schneider

Niveau configuration cela donne quelque chose comme ça : à gauche le fichier IMG.CFG à déposer sur la clé USB du #Gotek , et à droite le fichier spécifiant le format pour la #greaseweazel , à utiliser dans la commande de lecture de disquette.
Le fichier image en lui même contient juste le contenu de tous les secteurs à la suite sans aucune métadonnée.

J'ai dumpé la disquette de boot de mon système Flex #mc6809 avec la carte #greaseweazel , et j'ai pu lancer le système avec un lecteur #gotek contenant cette image.
Le truc sympa est que la GreaseWeazel comme le Gotek permettent de définir un format de disquette non standard (avec une syntaxe proche en plus), en l'occurrence une disquette double face simple densité (FM) avec 10 secteurs de 256 octets par face.
Ça va être pratique pour gérer le format Flex double densité où le format est encore moins standard (piste 0: 10 secteurs FM, pistes 1 et suivante : 18 secteurs MFM).

@rc2014 IIRC, I had to make one a while ago to flash the #FlashFloppy firmware on the #Gotek floppy emulator, so they may not be totally useless and still very much #retrocomputing related
Now, 75 of them...
Anyone up for a game of #Zork on a GM905 system from #GeminiMicrocomputers featuring a #z80 processor, 64K memory and dual #gotek floppy emulators running #FlashFloppy? Eh?

One of the contacts is gone, and the plastic is burnt. Did the USB stick short two neighboring pins?
I wonder if simply replacing the USB connector will suffice? I'll try if I can find a broken board to rip the connector from...
The #Gotek floppy emulator installed on the #Amiga 4000 just fried my USB stick with all my ADF files on it!
Good thing I smelled it burning and removed it right away. Also: I still have the ADF files on my laptop
The #flashfloppy firmware still runs on the Gotek, but doesn't detect another known-good USB stick
New video! I'm talking about boot selectors for the #Amiga showing off a DIY method and then trying out the #FireFloppySwap500, which is a super deluxe solution.

Booting #CPM on the #GeminiMicrocomputers system with new #gotek enclosure.
It's done! I figured "if you're gonna build a old school vertical #gotek enclosure, why not do it with some style?". I'm aiming for that early 80s style, and I'm quite happy with the result, although the OLED sticks out a bit. It is terribly practical for navigating disk images though. What do you think?

I'm making a thing. Color is wrong and I'm still ironing our a few rough edges. But it's a thing.
Hell yeah! I managed to assemble a working 40+ years old #GeminiMicrocomputers from the lot of dead ones I inherited. #z80 CPU card repaired, Super Video Controller repaired, floppy controller configured, #gotek configured and attached. Keyboard cleaned and repaired. #CPM loads and demo program runs.
The #Amiga 500 in its natural environment: on the desk with its top off and me tinkering to my hearts content. Installing and configuring the #PiStorm and #RaspberryPi it powers. #Commodore #Retro #16bit #Computing #Workbench #AmigaOS #80stechnology #Gotek
