After several attempts using various parameters the Gotek USB-Floppy Emulator is successfully installed in Excellon CNC-6 controller. This emulator was enabled to this setup only after updating to HxC firmware. Thanks a lot to Jeff for his excellent support. Without his support this would not have been possible. Thanks Jeff.
Will update with step by step procedure soon about this setup. in the mean time sharing the success video, see the link below
