Final update of the night.

Got my large OLED working with the gotek.

When I redesign the case I'll make a HDD cover with a mount for it ^-^

Yes, it's easy for it to become an expensive hobby (or even addiction)...so try to keep it as the former and not the latter (says the person with well over 30 Atari STs of various types0 - and I'm far from the most obsessive collector on this forum!

I am quickly learning this xD
Once my last few items arrive I'm blocking eBay on my phone so I stop browsing it in my down time.

Some cool things came in the mail today!
Open box but otherwise brand new!
The included stand is literally just a block of wood with a hole in it!

Will back up the disks when I get a chance and scan the 208 page manual as well.

I have to say it's now my favorite input device for my Atari. It's super smooth and doesn't need a flat surface!

Trying 6mb floppy images with my gotek and my atari mega ste and was pleasantly surprised that it is having no issues reading them.
It's a decent stop gap in the meantime while I save up for a blue scsi.

@Ghostie That's interesting...been meaning to try those myself (but there never seems to be enough time). Good to hear that you got it working though
:thumbup:

Is that emulating HD or DD drives?
