Hi all,

Just installed the GoEx in my TT and wanted to share some photos so others can see how it fits. This would be the same on a MegaSTE too. Normally the TT has a large metal floppy base mount, I didn't want to put this back in for space reasons so I used zip-ties instead. The zip ties hold it perfectly, a very neat solution! I then decided that my ideal place for the OLED display was just below the HDD bay. Using a little file it was easy to make a small recess for the cable to fit through nicely.

I was surprised how easy it is to use, I downloaded the blank floppy file from Rubber jonnhys excellent guide ( https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... f=12&t=593 ) put it on a fat32 formatted SD card, and the Flashfloppy picked it up automatically and I can easily read and write directly to this image, brilliant! For me the Flashfloppy is good for two things: Removing the ageing mechanical drive and having utility discs easily available in TOS without requiring any drivers; so in the event of a HDD crash I can easily recover and fix problems.

Ooooh. Really nice and clean. Looks great.

Thanx a lot for report & pictures & link.
I ordered a GOEX 10 days ago, will hopefully arrive soon.

Will look nice in a Mega STE 😁

Has anyone seen the long button bezel for the goex

Hi I have a long and a short goex - they work great. Not having to saw holes in the side of the case is always nice, and using a SD cards rather than a USB dongles just keep everything really clean. Can't recommend them highly enough. I also have a second long goex inside an old broken SF354's case which needed a couple of mm's filing from a the bezel on the sharp corner to fit but looks great, but still need to sort the wiring out for that to work as an external floppy drive.

Nice, been thinking if putting one in one of my Megas

What I like in the GOEX is the attention to the detail : having designed a front insert that integrate to the special shape of the cutout for the disk drive. It's in my shopping list for next year.
