Back from the dead: my Tandon PCX. PC clone at £1,195 in ‘86, undercutting IBM and built from tank steel (probably). Oki 8088-10, 640K, 42MB MFM disk. Took a PSU repair, a replacement bus transceiver, and a custom FlashFloppy board I built for the 5.25” bay. Now working. db.2600.me/computers/RH-K3MP

Introduced in 1986, the Tandon PCX was the entry level model in their range of IBM PC compatibles aimed at the business market. At £1,195 it easily undercut IBM, and what buyers got for the money was ...

Good point, I’ll try that. Currently fighting with a skittish disk controller but at least I’ve got flashfloppy working. The Lynx drive doesn’t like being jumpered as DS1 though. Wonder if it’s a termination thing.

BlueSCSI has decent logging though doesn’t it, you can maybe see if something obvious is missing. You can also get a logging flashfloppy firmware which dumps accesses in a text file on the stick. Maybe Keir can help with that.

Update - Micro gotek not happy despite having the latest flashfloppy firmware on it. Time to dismantle one of my working cased ones instead. At least doing it that way I get a working activity LED too.

IT WORKS 🎉
I can see the gotek’s Select light blinking with the ‘gimme a disk’ beeps so it’s TRYING read my disk images. BUT I think my flashfloppy config on the gotek needs to understand the 8” drive signals so now I have to hook up a real drive and watch what pins 2, 16 and 34 do.

I'm currently having a nightmare trying to get ANYTHING to run on this Atari STE.
I don't have any ST games, so I thought that I would use a Gotek. Both Gotek drives don't seem to work. Fuck.
Also, trying to find answers/sellers of either a TerribleFire accelerator card or a PiStorm is difficult.

Todays build was also another flashfloppy pcb but for the Tatung Einstein. It uses the 3” drive but the drive is different to the CPC and Spectrum
Its slightly bigger and also its an Edge connector like on 5.25” PC Drives
All works, and yes will print a black case for it
Cases still need tweaking

AtariST FlashFloppy, right one is final design, although few days ago i got a MegaSTe and a special version has been made to extend it a bit longer 😂.
Release soon…

Bought a couple of Goteks on AliExpress. They're now FlashFloppy modded with upgrades.

Yes, I've seen that HxC and/or FlashFloppy can have boot disk images (eg on the Amiga) that can select the drive # or disk images on-screen; just wondering about the original Gotek firmware capabilities.

Oh I did not know this. I wonder if this capability works when using Fluxengine software with the greaseweasel? Last time I tried to read some hard sector disks I got stuck. I also am curious if the FlashFloppy firmware on a Gotek can emulate hard sector disks? (I recently got a Northstar computer)

I know a million people have done this before. Yet it's the first time I've worked on one. It's a lot easier than I thought. That's largely thanks to the FlashFloppy firmware and the guides on their Wiki.

Back onto the Gotek this lunchtime. Checking the OLED wiring is correct before I solder the headers in for the rotary encoder. Nice.

Gentlemen. I am about at my wit's end. SFRKC30.AT2, with the AT32F415. Devuan Chimaera (basically Debian 11.1 without systemd). AMD64. Windows isn't an option. I'll flip these units on ebay and buy...

Flashed the Gotek with FlashFloppy. Straightforward(ish) even in Linux. Still waiting on parts.

The Gotek I ordered from Ali Express arrived today. Looks fine. Still waiting on ribbon cable and drive edge connectors then we’re good to go. Might flash it first with FlashFloppy. Don’t think there is a floppy cable in my PC box to test in that first.

Just ordered a Gotek from Ali Express for my Einstein. It'll need some fettling first, a 3D printed frame and dual-floppy ribbon cable will need to be made. And it'll need flashing with FlashFloppy. I've heard a lot about them, never used one in a configuration.
