Hi all,
has anyone put a gotek to an Emu Classic series?
I believe that it's a standard PC drive at S0 so I could use HXC PC 1.44" firmware and go from there although I'm a bit unsure on how to put files from my pc in as gotek images for the sampler to read.
I imagine formatting the empty hfe files and writing samples etc *from* the sampler would work out of the box; it's the other way around that worries me.
I need the floppy drive to update my EOS from 4.02 to 4.62 and may never use it afterwards as I've already got a SCSI disk in there.
So I mainly want to somehow put the EOS .img files in the gotek and just flash my sampler's OS.
Can I use the HXC software to convert the .img files to the hxc format (hfe) and I'm done?
Thanks:)
UPDATE: I've installed the HxC bootloader/firmware and the DOS 1.44" quick image.
The gotek drive is recognised by the sampler so I can read and write but I still can't get it to boot from the flashprep disk (needed to update my OS).
I've tried changing the delay settings (5 on the hxc menu) but still..
Is there any setting that I can change that effects on how fast the gotek will be available to the sampler OS?

Wondering about the same thing here. Or rather; are there any use for a hxc gotek in a EOS E-mu sampler? The floppy drive dont seem to accept any old formats (emax, emax ii) anyway.
I've installed a hxc gotek in an old e4k keyboard, and it seems to be a bit sluggish. Anyone experienced the same?

Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
Yes, and i did something in the firmware to fix this. Emu E4k use a different gap3 setting.
You have two solutions :
- If you use hfe, format them with the e4k.
- If you use img, select the Emu system family in the embedded menu (menu n°0).
Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
Thanks Jeff,
upgraded the firmware and set it to EOS. Still sluggish,
but that might be because i'm unable to load (and thereby format) a *.hfe file / *.img file
Do you have a hfe / img that can be used by an EOS machine?

Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
An IMG file (attached).
Remove the stick, press both buttons, select '0' then '1B'. This select the ESI mode for the img files.
Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
Argh, I cant get the img to load, it just stands there at 0/80 sectors.
Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
My previous post procedure and image was tested very successfully by another user very recently (on the hxc facebook group).
Is the jumper correctly set ?
Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
Yes, I'm sure I'm doing some noob mistake, I just cant figure out what it is.
Gotek jumper is set to S0

Re: EMU E4X CLASSIC GOTEK
since this machine use a pc drive, can you try S1 ?
