towmater Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I did the mod to a Gotek using tonmann's info, but as specified, there are only two compatible versions of the floppy controller IC, and my 1040 didn't have one, it had an older WDC "00-02" I read that one can now purchase the Lotharek firmware to put on a Gotek, but has anyone found whether the same issue of ST floppy controller IC version exists if this alternate firmware is used?

GTi Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi, I'm not a technical guy. Just giving my 5 cents. I recently bought an Atari STF. I already had a Gotek USB with HxC running on my Amstrad CPC. So I used it on the STF and it works flawless. Replaced the floppy drive and using an external power supply so I can swap instantly to the Amstrad when I want. I just copied over the correct firmware/boot files in the root of the USB and the STF instantly booted up with the file menu system of Hxc to choose your games from. I did bought mine from Amigastore.eu (hehe) with HxC as option (not the Cortex firmware). I guess the Lothareks is the same. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
