Hello I think I made a wrong purchase, is it possible to set up a gotek flash floppy on akai s900 without hxc?
This is what I bought

The hxc firmware can be installed on this with just an usb stick. Quite easy to do.

Thanks for your reply, I read that you need to program the device and it's kind a complicated task,if it's that simple is there any guide to do it?

No with the usb stick method this is quite simple : copy some files to the stick to update the drive.

You have to install the hxc bootloader and then hxc firmware. All of this can be done with an USB stick.
