Timkorbs Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I am a newbie to this stuff. I bought a Gotek that I have working as DSK2 supplementing my DSK1 floppy drive. My floppy wont write, so I want to nix that and just use my Gotek as my drive. I removed the cable from the floppy drive and connected the Gotek cable directly to the disk controller. It wasn't working and then I found some information about supposedly setting the jumper in the Gotek, so I moved that up to the supposed DSK0 slot. it still doesn't work. i barely know what I'm doing. Any suggestions??? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk I guess I don't know what you mean....It goes from the Gotek directly to the disk controller card. It's now attached to the connection that the floppy drive was formerly connected to. Is that what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 yes no twists in the cable.. a lot of PC cables have twists.. TWISTS ARE BAD in the TI.. If you have JUST the gotek plugged in, set it to d0 and it should answer to DSK1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Have you upgraded gotek to use the flash floppy firmware? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
