This is a great solution for replacing a old floppy drive. It works like this:
The gotek has built in 999 locations where you can place a floppydisk image. This image contains the contents of one floppy disk. These pre made images are usually easy to find on the Internet, but you can easily make a image of a real floppy disk you own.

*Gotek Usb Floppy Emulator Manual
A few older drives offered the option to get this demand by setting some jumper, but for modern drives or floppy-emus I’m quite sure there is no such option any more. Hence I present a “dead simple” solution for this that is easy to build and at least works like a charm for my Gotek floppy-emu.
All you have to do to use the gotek, is to put the images on a USB pen drive, and assign each disk a number. The gotek has 2 buttons in the front, where you can select the disks. One for up and one for down. Lets say you want to boot from a game or program that you assigned to slot 5. All you have to do, is to press the buttons untill the display shows 005, and the disk will load. You can press the buttons back and forth to select images, and your computer will behave as if you inserted that floppy disk. Its a great way to get rid of those old worn out floppy disks, and great to save space.
Available upgrades:
-Speaker that emulates floppy loading sounds!
-OLED screen that replaces the original display, so that the name of the disk is shown in letters instead of numbers, meaning you dont have to keep track of where you assigned your images.
Disconnect the FTDI-232 from the Gotek PCB and remove the BOOT0 jumper. If you are planning to replace DF0: you will need to ensure the Gotek header labeled S0 has a jumper on it. Then you’re done! Re-assemble the Gotek and replace your Amiga floppy drive with it. Prep a USB Stick. I’ve been using the GOTEK USB Floppy Emulator Simulator since the beginning of 2013 and they have never let me down. I haven’t encountered a single glitch, b. If you have tried one HxC Floppy Emulator with a machine not present in this list or with a ’Should be Ok!’ Status, please send us a message to let us know the test result! And anyway if you get any problem please contact us too! (Visit the ’Contact us’ page.) Machine / System types: CNC Machines HxC Floppy Emulators compatibility list.
The drive itself: The drive comes new with a really bad firmware that hardly can be used to anything. So you need to circomvent the protection of the drive, and flash it with a new firmware. I use FlashFloppy. If I sell one of these, they are already flashed with FlashFloppy.
Once the protection has been broken, future updates is as easy as to put the updated firmware in the root of the USB stick, and power on the gotek with both buttons in the front pressed in at once. The drive will now update itself. Be careful not to disconnect the power during this process.
This drive can be connected to any computer that has the same Shugart 34-pin header, such as
Acorn Archimedes
Acorn BBC Micro
Akai Synthesizers
Amstrad CPC
Atari ST
Commodore Amiga
DEC
Dragon
E-mu ESI-32
Ensoniq
General Music (GEM) Synthesizers
IBM PC
Korg
Memotech
MSX
NEC PC-98
Roland
Sequential Circuits Prophet 3000
Spectrum
Tandy Color Computer
TI-99/4A
UKNC, DVK
The FlashFloppy firmware ensures that they all work.
WARNING! If you connect the power cable in the back wrong, IT WILL KILL THE DRIVE.
Some computers require different jumper settings on the drive. Usually all you have to do, is to move jumper S1 to S0. If that dont work, try these options:
Jumper at S1 only
Jumpers at JC and S0
Jumpers at JC and S1
These files must reside in the root of the USB stick for it to work

USB Gotek drives have been a popular option to replace the internal 3.5″ floppy drive in many Amiga’s with something a bit less prone to failure. I got my hands on one from eBay and I thought I’d share the process I used to load the firmware on the drive.
I have to share that I did not come up with this process. It’s essentially the same as is documented on the Cortex website, I just updated screenshots and inserted my pictures.
First off, there are some parts that you’ll need:
*Gotek USB drive. They can typically be found on eBay or Amazon.
*FTDI RS232 to TTL Serial USB adapter. I got mine off eBay and it works well.
*Header pins. I had some kicking around the house.
*Mini-USB to USB cable. I had one kicking around the house.
*Female-to-Female jumper wires. I picked some up at a local electronics shop. They’re popular with the Arduino crowd.
*Soldering iron.
So here we go!
Prep The FDTI-232
First I needed to solder on some header pins to the FTDI-232. I really just needed to solder on the 5V header pin thru-hole but I decided to put header pins in all of them.
While you’re soldering those header pins, you’ll need to change the jumper that’s near the chip to 3.3V. The Gotek drives are supposed to be able to handle 5V but it’s safer to use 3.3V when dealing with TTL serial.
Prep The Gotek
Next we needed to solder header pins onto the Gotek drive PCB too.
We have to take the drive out of the case and expose the PCB. There are three screws that need to be removed.
Once the screws are removed the PCB will be exposed. The area where the headers pins need to be installed are right by the power connector.
It’s not necessary to install header pins in all the thru-holes, but like the FTDI-232 I put header pins in all of them.
Connect FTDI-232 to Gotek
Now that header pins are installed on the FTDI-232 and the Gotek drive I connected them together.
On the Gotek drive, the first two pins (shown at BOOT0 in the image above) need to have a jumper put on them so the Gotek will boot into “programming” mode.
Load Firmware on Gotek
Like I mentioned earlier, I’m following the steps outlined on the Cortex website for this. To load the firmware on the Gotek drive you’ll need:
*the STMicroelectronics Flash Loader software from here.
*the Cortex firmware: cortexamigafloppyemulator_v105a.docx. NOTE: You will rename the file from .docx to .zip!
Plug your PC into the USB port of the FTDI-232 adapter. Confirm which serial port your adapter shows up as in the Windows Device Manager. For me it showed up as COM3.
Once you have install the Flash Loader software, start it. You’ll be presented with the screen shown to the right. I found the following settings worked for me:
Port Name: COM3 (or whatever was shown in the Device Manager)
Baud Rate: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: Even
Echo: Disabled
Timeout(s): 10
Once that is all set, click the Next button.
If the communications are working you’ll see a warning to remove the copy protection on the Gotek drive. Removing the copy protection will erase the Gotek drive. There is unfortunately no way to first create a backup of the firmware to be able to restore it later if you need.
Click on the Remove protection button.
Click on the OK button on the pop-up window that alerts you to wait until the Gotek is erased and reboots.
Once the Gotek firmware has been erased you’ll notice that the Flash Loader program indicates a green light now and the flash size is 128KB.
Now we need to click on the Next button.Gotek Floppy Emulator Jumper Settings Download
The Flash Loader program now should look similar to the screen on the right. It’s showing the flash mapping and that all locations are unprotected. You should not need to make any changes here.
Click on the Next button to continue.
Now choose the “Download to device” option. Then select the Cortex firmware .hex file by clicking on the … button.
Once you have the firmware file selected, click on the Next button.
Free dubstep software download for mac. The Flash Loader program will then start to load the Cortex firmware on the Gotek drive. The whole process should take about 30 seconds.
Once complete, click on the Close button of the Flash Loader program and disconnect the USB cable connecting your PC to the FTDI-232 adapter. Disconnect the FTDI-232 from the Gotek PCB and remove the BOOT0 jumper.
If you are planning to replace DF0: you will need to ensure the Gotek header labeled S0 has a jumper on it.
Then you’re done! Re-assemble the Gotek and replace your Amiga floppy drive with it.
Prep a USB Stick
The last step of this whole journey is to get a USB stick prepped. What I did was take an older 4GB USB stick and formatted it with a FAT32 filesystem. I then copied the SELECTOR.ADF file that is located in the Cortex firmware archive that was used in the Load Firmware on Gotek section above onto the root of the USB stick. I then populated a few other ADF files on the USB stick. The ADF’s can be in different directories if you wish.
Each of the ADF files gets assigned a 3 digit identifier that you can select on the Gotek drive by pressing the selector buttons next to the USB port. When you first boot your Amiga with the Gotek and ID 000 is selected this will launch the Cortex configuration application from the SELECTOR.ADF file. You can assign your other ADF files to whatever numeric ID you wish. Alternatively I ran across this Amiga Gotek SELCTOR.ADF Editor utility (alternative download) which allows you to manage what ADF files have what numeric ID’s on your PC.
On the right-hand side of the window you’ll see all the ADF files on the USB stick. Drag the ADF files to the left-hand side of the window and you can re-order the numeric ID’s. To get rid of ADF files on the right-hand side of the window, just drag them back to the left-hand side. Once you have the ADF files in the order you wish, click on the Save button to update the SELECTOR.ADF file on the USB stick. Then click on the Safe Removal button and you can remove the USB stick from your PC and plug it into the Gotek drive.Gotek Usb Floppy Emulator Manual
