![]() The FloppyEmu, according to what I've read, seems to be much slower due to using the floppy interface, but it much more widely compatble across the retro Apple landscape, which may be useful if I start getting some older Macs(right now my oldest Mac is a Powerbook 3400c, so wouldn't be useful outside of the IIgs for now). From what I've read, the Micro Drive seems to be fast and a good fit for the IIgs, but seems like it can be kind of clunky to work with. If there are other options, I'd be glad to hear about it. Looks like compared to the retro PCs, the Apple IIgs(and II in general) seems to have options similar to, but more expensive than, the XT-IDE cards and Gotek floppy emulator.įrom what I can tell the only two real options seem to be the MicroDrive Turbo and the FloppyEmu with other options being produced in such limited quality they're not worth considering. Looks like ADTPro and a cable fits that bare minimum requirement, and might be something I look into as a sort of a back up since it seems to be about the only cheap and DIY friendly approach. The bare minimum of what I want to do is be able to create new disks from images, but something that emulates a hard drive. ![]() Last version of this software - v.1.40i.I've just gotten my first Apple IIgs(and first Apple II in a long time, and I didn't having thing beyond floppies then), so I'm trying to map out the storage scene to get software from a modern computer(Windows/Mac/Linux) and see if there's anything missing in my research(a lot of info seems to be older, but maybe no out of date). It is working with Windows 7 - I have no found any problem. Hello, Everybody! I saved software for the GOTEK to my Yandex Disk, becaus it no longer availeble from the manufacturer. Unread post by Angelo Taylor » Fri 12:48 pm. The aim of HxC Floppy Emulator project is to provide software and hardware solutions to replace old floppy disk drives and floppy support with modern solutions (USB, SDCard, network.) Features Import and convert many floppy image file formats. All you need to do is convert your disk image to the appropriate emulator format (HFE for HxC), place it on the emulator (or SD card etc.), and load it. HxC/Gotek-type floppy emulators support any type of floppy image (or at least, a very large number of types of floppy images), including images of 5.25” disks. A HFE boot image file and a config file: DSKA0000.HFE, HXCSDFE.CFG - OS 1.72 files: MPC2000.SYS, MPC2000.EXE - HxC Floppy Emulator software for Mac: HxCFloppyEmulator.app. ![]() I did some research and some experiments but so far I'm unable to boot with the Gotek. ![]() However, I would like to boot from the floppy emulator. You will have to search it up, the title is 'GOTEK USB Floppy Emulator Simulator Review Tutorial' by PhilsComputerLab. ![]() The program I used to format it and to fill up the drive is this - USBFloppyManagerv1.40i There is also a video on youtube that helped explained how to use it too. ![]()
