Gotek HxC and Akai S01 "__F" error

Post by teevee »

Hi HxC Folks,

I`m currently struggling with getting a Gotek HxC to work with my Akai S01.

There is another topic about same Akai S01 here, but mine wont work that easy.
https://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?t=710

I have set jumper on S0, you cannot insert the floppy cable wrong due to that you will get an error message on the OLED if you do so.

My Akai S01 gives me a message on its display called “__F” whenever I want to Load or format disks.

Any suggestions? (Maybe a config magic something?)

Note:
I have attached an example of a blank and one sound disk in .IMG format. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7az9s86q8426u ... s.zip?dl=0)
I first tested with the firmware FlashFloppy, yesterday I replaced Flashfloppy with HxC, FlashFloppy has a similar behavior with the __F message

Set the Akai "System family" : you can do this with the embedded menu :
See "Internal parameters settings" ->

If got this same problem but cannot figure out how to set the system family. My only options are :
update firmware, factory reset, configure ff osd, exit

Not sure what to do. it cannot load, save, or format any thing

Hello,

To have the others options/features you need to install the HxC Firmware :

(Can be done with an USB Stick) :
