Please note that for external operation a external floppy disk drive adapter is required for the Amiga. Our floppy emulator comes with the latest FlashFloppy firmware, which is suitable for Amiga/Atari/Amstrad/Acorn/IBM-PC.

To get the original Amiga feeling with floppy drive noise, a Floppy Sound Mod can be ordered optionally. It is available in the colors black and light blue (please select above). I recall it was also possible to install HxC firmware onto a GoTek floppy emulator as well I bought a few of the GoTeks off ebay, but all my system 24 stuff has been a bit inaccessible for a while so I haven't really dug in just yet. 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. I'd rather get a floppy emulator installed into all my otherwise working sys24 stuff and just set the drives aside. The Gotek emulator has a USB port, a 7 segment display, a green LED and two buttons. Pretend that the HxC is a Gotek, then use the installation instructions and configuration from this post Background. So the Gotek USB Floppy Emulator is ideal for computer players on the Amiga who don't want to load their Amiga games from floppy disks anymore but like to play floppy games. From there you can then ADF files from a USB flash memory stick treat them like floppy disks.

The TRS-80 Model 4 computers are a family of systems from 1983, built and sold by Tandy/Radio Shack. Being impressed with how well that worked I decided to give it a shot on my trusty ZX Spectrum +3 who's disks are as equally unreliable, even harder to source and also very expensive.

It is connected internally or externally instead of the floppy drive and makes the Amiga look like a floppy drive. After getting annoyed at the failure rate of my old 3.5' floppy disks I started using a Gotek USB Floppy emulator on my Amiga and Atari ST. The Gotek USB Floppy Emulator replaces the floppy drive on the Amiga when you don't want to handle floppy disks anymore.
