If you’ve connected RX with RX and TX with TX communication is not going to be estabilished. You should connect RX of your USB adapter with TX on the floppy and vice-versa

Hi FireB0y

It ‘s very different, i think it’s better if you ask on the official page.

Hi!

I’m Fireb0y of Vintagenarios, and i have a little question about those piece of hardware:

I have get on my hands a second USB floppy emulator from other manufacturer(do not know what brand it is, it says on its red board SMUFDDV4@1104)

This emulator seems to work closely as the Gotek, but it has only 2 digits on the display.

The question is, that the firmware solution of Herve Messinger will work on the drive. Also, there is a set of pins called P4, with the legend RST, G, d-, d+, V and G again, that i suspect are for firmware purposes.

The drive is this:

Thanks!

Hi René

All Gotek drives are based on the same hardware, any version should be compatible.
