Weird problems with Gotek and Amiga 500

[CrazyNob]

Its a Floppy Ribbon from a PC but it doesn't have a twist. I also tried to connect the Gotek with the original Amiga Floppy Ribbon with the same result.

Is the jumper set to S0 ?

Try to reseat the Paula chip into the Amiga.

[CrazyNob]

Yes the Jumper is set to S0.

I have reaseated the Paula Chip but still the same.
The normal Floppy is working perfectly with this ribbon.

I have made some pictures of the Gotek MC.

The one working with the Cortex Firmware.

Is this of any interest for you, maybe it is a problem with the Gotek Hardware.

Try to update the gotek with the cortex upd ( HM_CXFE_1_5.UPD ) and copy startup.adf to the usb stick

I have updated the Gotek with Cortex Firmware and copied the selector.adf to the Stick.
Its the same behvior. It loads until the Amiga dos message appears, it can be solved by using the "Ja" Button. Can i pay via Paypal to get the bootloader for the other Gotek?

For everyone who´s interested in the result.

It seems to be a problem with the Gotek Hardware, i have flashed an other Gotek and this one works perfect with the Amiga 500.
But its strange there's no problem on a CPC 464 with the faulty Gotek.


Thank you Jeff for the great support.
