Is your PSU good? Perhaps there are some wobbles because 5v is a bit off?russellnash wrote: 08 Feb 2026 07:12 Thanks for the reply, I imagine it is a something that probably isn't very easy to explain or solve, and in most cases isn't that important because I am usually running everything from the Ultrasatan. I originally bought a Gotek because my first ST had a replacement floppy drive which was not at all reliable at detecting disk swaps, which the Gotek fixed immediately.

Re: Gotek Q&A
I don't really know the state of my power supply,. All my power supplies are old, one of them is from Exxxos recapped by Steve. It is sitting in my STFM which has the original floppy drive. I haven't used it since getting a Phoenix board. I will check sometime, thanks.
