XGecu TL866II Plus is widely used and popular. Only has windows program for it. It can program 27C4096 but plcc footprint needs an adapter to dip and most of them seems to be needed some modification to work. FYI the Windows program works fine with VirtualBox Windows, for those who are running Linu...

ADDING AN INTERNAL ULTRASATAN I have built this bracket to allow mounting the UltraSatan (standard size) to the top of the Gotek floppy emulator US-Gotek-001.jpg It screws into the Gotek via a M3x20 screw, replacing one of the original Gotek case screws: US-Gotek-002.jpg And then the UltraSatan scr...

I do have a HxC, but sadly had it years and only used it once!

Don't fret too much. The OSD works only with the Gotek hardware, not with the HxC hardware. But it needs HxC firmware flashed onto the Gotek hardware (or, apparently FlashFloppy firmware on Gotek hardware).

I didn't even know gotek could have a OSD! Only if you have the HxC firmware on it. Gotek + HxC has become my favourite floppy emulator for this reason. So much handier than having to look around the side of the computer or god forbid cut extra holes in the case! :twisted: EDIT: Actually apparently...

Slightly tidier wiring now. I still need a longer floppy cable though.

OSD is nice and solid now.

Okay, after getting better from feeling blue, I've got back to playing with the Gotek (HxC firmware) OSD, and I have good results: HxC-007.jpeg This will get tidier in time, I swear. My original hookup was just plain hookup wire, and I was getting all kinds of sync problems on the OSD. I replaced th...

Okay, traced the blue signals around and discovered a bad solder on the B0 input on U5 was the culprit. I'm sure it was dodgy all along, and my Gotek experimentation flexed the board enough to break it. rgb.jpg Let there be RGB! :mrgreen: Too late tonight to get back to the Gotek project. I'll get b...

I would check the digital blue lines from shifter via buffer to DAC chip make sure your not losing a bit somewhere.

Yep, that is on this evening's agenda.

A little bit more information on my confusing new problem. Here's the diag cart test pattern:


So it looks like I'm missing part of my blue. Hrm.

I have swapped out the Shifter, and it isn't that. Will keep investigating.
