Hi all I have an Atari 520ST the early model with no internal floppy drive. Running Flashfloppy on a GOTEK and using dominotrees interface: I have flashed a GOTEK with the latest flashfloppy firmware and got the atari to recognize it and loads into autoboot mode: Here is what my USB drive looks like: I cant get .st (or.stx) images to run at all, I tried dark side of the spoon which is a .HFE and the sound comes through but no picture, this is what it looks like: also trying lemmings 2, the HFE file seems to load for a fraction of a second and screen goes black, no sound. The monitor as far as I know works fine as shown with the screenshot of the file select screen. Any idea what's happening, can you tell from the pics if I'm doing something incorrectly? Any Help will be much appreciated, I'm new to the ST scene and working with a gotek. Cheers! Josh

Hey all, I'm very new to the Atari ST and floppy emulators. I bought a new basic gotek drive, the kind with the artery chip. SFRKC30.AT2 successfully flashed the gotek with Flashfloppy 3.24 i believe. But when I plug the gotek in the LCD doesn't display anything, no light at all, with or without a usb drive plugged in. I did power up the gotek new out of the box before flashing it and the LCD lit up fine displaying 000. I do believe the gotek itself is fine because when I insert the usb drive the light on the usb stick flashes as if there's activity and the green led on the gotek does light up when connected to my Atari 520ST(early model with no internal drive). Anyone run across this issue? Any thoughts on if the LCD is just fried somehow or if there's something im not doing with my USB drive? -
Hello Everyone, I am rejoining the TI world after being away for many years. I am in the middle of restoring a Geneve system and two TI systems. First I would like to thank shift838 and Bob Carmany for their service to the community and their help to me personally. I have ordered EPROMs from Bob to update various PEB cards and the Geneve boot. I currently have the Geneve (1.0 boot, v7.30 MDOS) running with an HFDC and Myarc RS232. I have resurrected three floppy drives (2-DSDD, and a 1.44). I purchased a Gotek floppy emulator and loaded the FlashFloppy software. I can read .DSK files (Ex: MDOS 7.30a.DSK) but I cannot write to the DSK file. Ex: I try and write to the MDOS 7.30a.DSK to put the "LOAD/SYS" file and I get a device error. I will have many questions as I get the systems up and running and get back into the hardware arena and programming (I still need to find my copy of GenProg and hope it is still on readable floppies :-) ). My first questions are: Does MDOS still require LOAD/SYS. The 7.30 disks don't have this but it wouldn't boot without it. Should I be able to write to the Gotek with a DSK file as the disk? (DSDD MDOS) or do I need to use the hfe file format to write? It doesn't appear that the Gotek can be set as a HD 3.5 drive in the HFDC and read a DSDD disk. It appears to walk two tracks at once when stepping as you expect for a 40 track floppy. Is there away to use a per DSK file cfg to specify the geometry? Thanks for any assistance you can offer! Mark

I have been trying to get my Atari 520ST to work with an old external floppy SF354. Firstly the SF354 is the new type, with a PCB that has some chips on it. The floppy drive that came with it does not work. I plugged in an Amiga A600 floppy drive and this works well. I assume that is a double density single sided floppy drive. So I am trying to get a Gotek USB floppy emulator with HxC firmware to work with this external drive interface. It doesn't. I've been suggested elsewhere this maybe because the Gotek is double sided. I have no idea what files I am supposed to have on the HxC firmware Gotek for the Atari ST, and how to ensure it is behaving as single sided rather than double sided. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Nick
