I have an external floppy drive and bought a Gotek for it, for VCF. Forgot to bring it with me, this weekend, though. - Alex On Fri, Aug 13, 2021 at 4:05 PM dave.g4ugm--- via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

What are you using to demo the 1040ST?
Right now floppy disk. We don’t have any SD card solution yet, but are looking for someone to donate one.
I use a GOTEK with the Flash Floppy software with mine. There is some menu software you can load on the GoTek that lets you browse a collection of diskette images and then boot the ST from the floppy image. It is an old GoTek. Not sure if the menu software works with the new GoTek as they use a different chip. If you need a donation to buy one let me know.
