It did however stick out a bit too much, so I got a SanDisk Ultra Fit 16GB USB 3.1 instead, that is way more compact. Gotek FlashFloppy Firmware update to 2.14ĭuring the installation/testing I used a semi-old SanDisk Cruzer 8GB USB 2 stick. To be honest, I don’t remember if I checked if it worked with the HxC. I haven’t checked if the secondary 5.25” drive still works, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t. I got the config from the same thread, FF.CFG.zipīelow is a condensed version to show the settings that I use: # FF.CFG: Example FlashFloppy Configuration File It seemed like the issues has been resolved though. When I researched EII + Gotek + FlashFloppy, I was worried that it wouldn’t work when I found this issue. The Gotek id jumper was already set to S0. This gives access to the screws on the bottom. A tip for opening up the EII, is to place it on two boxes like I did. As soon as the Gotek has the FlashFloppy firmware, it can be updated with USB.

I recommend buying a pre-flashed Gotek unless you really want to flash it via serial yourself. It came pre-flashed with FlashFloppy 2.13.

Those two mods are a must! There’s also a speaker mod available, but I skipped that – when it comes to sound – only the real deal is good enough! I added the optional OLED display and potentiometer options. I bought mine from Amiga Kit in the UK, but there are other vendors. My Gotek Here’s how the Gotek looks like when I got it from Amiga Kit. So the HxC software nowadays works on non HxC hardware as well.
That firmware has been ported to work on Gotek, that’s why a Gotek can run HxC. Yes, the HxC was originally just a hardware floppy emulator running the HxC firmware (doh). The Gotek is also easy to mod with an OLED display and potentiometer! It’s available on eBay or in stores that sell stuff for vintage computers. By flashing it with a custom firmware like FlashFloppy or HxC, it can support other formats.
More on that later… The two floppy emulators side by side About the GotekĪ stock Gotek only emulates a PC floppy. After the swap was done, I realized the Gotek was a great replacement and actually suited me and the EII better. I decided to replace the HxC Floppy Emulator with a Gotek Floppy Emulator running FlashFloppy! The primary reason was that I needed the HxC’s more advanced jumper settings in another project. Pretend that the HxC is a Gotek, then use the installation instructions and configuration from this post! Background

If you want to install a Gotek in your EII, go to this post and see how I did all the cabling and mounted a 5.25” adapter. I have decided to replace the HxC I installed five years ago with a Gotek.
