Any plans of making a PCB adapter for this?Jeff wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 12:00 amQuickDisk Emulation support
The HxC Firmware for Gotek have a QuickDisk floppy emulation mode since the version 3.4.0.0.
The QuickDisk variant of the HxC Floppy Emulator firmware can be found in the "QuickDisk" folder in the firmware archive :
Firmware archive
A blank .QD floppy disk file image can be found in the firmware archive in the /QuickDisk folder. You can initialize/format this image with your QD machine.
The Gotek floppy port to the QuickDisk interface wiring to use is :
Pins 4,6,8,12,14,18,26 and 32 can be left unconnected on the Gotek.Code: Select all
-- Shugart pin -- -- QuickDisk Machine-- 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)
Odd pins Gotek pins (1,3,5,7,...,33) should be connected to the GND/VSS.
The jumper must be set to "MO".
Below you can found the QuickDisk Floppy Drive Interface to the floppy emulator wiring schematic for the following machines :
Akai MD-280(S612) (*) / S700 (*) / X3700 / X7000 (*)
Korg SQD-1 / SQD-8
Roland S-10 (*) / S-220 (*) / MKS-100 / MT-100 / PR-100
Sharp MZ-1500 / MSX QDM-01
Yamaha MDF-1
(*) Tested and working with these machines !
The wiring can be done without soldering on most machines. Below an example of wiring done with "Jumper cables" :

Here it is the typical male to female jumper cables you can use :

If you have another machine and want to know which wiring you must use, just ask !
