Gotek SFRC2D.B with ANDO optical spectrum analyzer

[IvanFrance]

Hi Jeff, Hi all,

I have just purchased a GOTEK SFR1M44-DU26 device on the SFRC2D.B board. I want to use it with ANDO optical spectrum analyzer as a replacement for Teac FD-05HG FDD. It seems that it is possible, I only need to make some modifications to the board, in particular
Right jumper setting : DS0A/ID0A, 1Ko pull up resistor needed on FLOPPY_DATA#
But the problem is that I cannot understand how to interpret this jumper setting for the board SFRC2D.B, and also it seems that all the pins there already have 1k resistors. So what modifications should I make? Help me, please.

Now the system is working somehow, so I do not want to just try and crush it. It seems that I will not be able to roll back to the original Gotek firmware in case, so I need to be sure, that the chances are high before taking the soldering iron in my hands.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Is the HxC Floppy emulator firmware installed on this Gotek ?

[IvanFrance]

No, not yet. Now there is a default Gotek firmware. Before writing HxC I need to be sure, that it will work. This expensive device belongs to the company, you know... Right now the instructions
Right jumper setting : DS0A/ID0A, 1Ko pull up resistor needed on FLOPPY_DATA#
seems ambiguous to me.

OK. I took a risk and flashed a bootloader and a firmware to my Gotek device. So now it does not work at all. I see the green diode permanently on and blinknig when trying to access floppy drive from the OSA. OSA emits "Disk not inserted" error. No reaction for the flash stick inserted. I have tried to prepare it in various ways, no reaction. Please, help.

The problem is that when I install USB stick with EXCHANGE.BIN and *.upd file the controller does not write or change the EXCHANGE.BIN somehow. I have checked it by the CRC-32 checksum. And I receive the email that my EXCHANGE.BIN is not good. I have tried with couple of USB sticks, I do not think the problem is with them. The controller just seems to be in not responding state

Can you share a picture of this gotek pcb ? what can you read on the gotek screen when once you have flashed the installer ? (EDIT : Silly question since there is no screen i suppose... isn't it ? )
(you can continue the support by email if you want : hxc2001 at hxc2001 dot com)

Have you fixed this problem yet? Maybe I'm encountering it
