Jean-François DEL NERO (who’s behind the HxC SD Floppy Emulator) recently has released a version of the HxC emulator firmware that is compatible with the STM32 chip used in the Gotek floppy emulators.
This means that the great functionality of the HxC SD emulator is now available on cheaper and more widely available hardware.
The bootloader to convert the Gotek floppy drive in HxC compatible must be purchased on the website HXC 2001 by sending an email to Jean-François DEL NERO. The price of the bootloader is one-off 10 Euro per Gotek that you want to update. Future updates of the software are free and can be made from a USB stick
The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports: 
Release notes Firmware USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.0.8.1a
- Last selected image save issue corrected.
Release notes Firmware USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.0.8.0a
- “Autoboot”/ File selector mode :
- Fast backward/forward mode : Keep the button pressed to speed up the image change.
- Press both buttons in the same time to jump the autoboot/file selector image.
- Indexed mode :
- Fast backward/forward mode : Keep the button pressed to speed up the image change.
- Press both buttons in the same time to jump the DSKA0000 image.
- Up to 1000 indexed images (DSKA0000-DSKA0999).
