Pin 2 (/DC) -> /MS (/MediaSense)
Pin 10 (/DS0) -> Connect it to GND/VSS
Pin 16 (/MotorOn) -> /MO
Pin 20 (/Step) -> /RS (/Reset)
Pin 22 (/WriteData) -> /WD (/WriteData)
Pin 24 (/WriteGate) -> WG (WriteGate)
Pin 28 (/WriteProtect) -> WP (WriteProtect)
Pin 30 (/ReadData) -> RD (ReadData)
Pin 34 (/Ready) -> /RY (/Ready)

Pins 4,6,8,12,14,18,26 and 32 can be left unconnected on the Gotek.
Odd pins Gotek pins (1,3,5,7,...,33) should be connected to the GND/VSS.

The jumper must be set to "MO".

A Blank QuickDisk floppy disk can be found in the firmware archive in the /QuickDisk folder.
