Hi Neil I have experience with the gotek (base version and hxc firmware) as well as the hxc device itself (bought from lotharek.pl). Send me a note with any questions and I'll help you figure out through it. Each computer has its own set of quirks and may require either different firmware, cabling, or jumpers to get working properly. That said some older computers have other methods of emulating floppies that are sometimes more flexible but can be more work, i.e. a raspberry pi solution with sio2pc for the Atari 8bit for example.

I'm currently planning on various restorations of my older systems. Unfortunately I've got a limited number of working drives. I'd like to know your experiences with the floppy emulators that are available. I've seen the HxC, the Gotek and the clones, though I think the Gotek is also a clone. I haven't purchased anything and I'm trying to understand these things better before I start buying anything.
