Thanks cjameslv - that was it. I was hoping to avoid cracking open the ST itself, but the bootloader for the Gotek works perfectly in the A:\ drive slot. Appreciate your help!

Hey all - hate to keep tapping this thread, but I am having some issues as well. I have a working AtariSTFM and have installed the Gotek USB floppy emulator correctly (Jumpers on S0 and M0), with ribbon cable attached appropriately to pin 1. I am using a SF 354 case with the mechanicals replaced with the Gotek USB. The drive is connected as a "B:\" drive. Everything appears fine. Green drive access light is on, USB drive is flashing (accessing) and i get the message "Loading HxC Manager..." with a progress bar represented by a bracket and subsequent periods afterward (ex. [............................ ) However the progress bar stops at the right edge of the screen and within 20 secs I hear a drive "buzz." Nothing happens after that. I have reformattted the drive, copying the ST config files over to the drive (ie, I have followed the instructions) Any input on what I may be doing wrong? I have not tried setting the jumper to S1 instead of S0, nor have I opened the ST's case to install the Gotek in drive "A:\" yet. Any help would be appreciated. I will keep trying ideas and will let you know if I figure it out.
