However you can’t simply buy a plain Gotek drive, plug it in and it will work, it needs the correct firmware installed that allows it to be seen by an Amiga as an Amiga floppy drive and there are a few out there designed to work with multiple computers for example HxC Floppy Emulator which works with multiple computers and there is another specifically for the Amiga called Cotex Amiga Floppy Emulator which was released in 2014 and does a good job but I don’t believe in active development so what is another good alternative? FlashFloppyįlashFloppy by Keir Fraser is my personal preference and is the one I install on the Goteks avilable on the site. However the Gotek drive is not limited to Amiga, it was originally for sewing/embroidery machines, Music sequencers and other computers like the Atari ST, Amstrad, Spectrum, MSX, Oric etc. And what for the people who just want to access a load of games, demos or applications easily without having to mess around transferring ADF to floppy disks? Well the Gotek drive is what you need! What is a Gotek Drive?Ī Gotek drive is a USB Floppy emulator in simple terms replaces your current internal Amiga 500,600,1200,1000,2000,3000,4000 floppy drive with a unit that has a USB slot and a 3 digit display like below. You could clean them up but it does not always last. However more and more floppy disks failing having been stuck in in an attic, garage or shed. We have a selection of Gotek drives available via our online store hereģ.5″ Floppy drives are great, there is nothing like putting a Floppy disk in the Amiga floppy drive and hearing it start reading the disk and waiting in anticipation for either that game, demo or application to load, the sound is very nostalgic!
