Hello,
i have a Gotek floppy drive in External housing with HXC firmware, this drive works great with my CPC, Speccy +3 and Amiga. Wanted to attach it to my Amiga ST and used this wiring diagram:
34 Way Connector on HxC = 14 Pin DIN Atari ST Floppy Connector
------------------------ ---------------------------------------
2 Density Select =
4 Reserved =
6 Reserved =
8 Index = 4 Index Pulse (yellow)
10 Motor Enable A = 8* Motor On (dkbrown*)
12 Drive Sel B = 6 Drive 1 Select (purple)
14 Drive Sel A = 5 Drive 0 Select (dkgreen)
16 Motor Enable B = 8* Motor On (dkbrown*)
18 Direction = 9 Direction In (orange)
20 Step = 10 Step (grey)
22 Write Data = 11 Write Data (pink)
24 Floppy Write Enable = 12 write gate (ltblue)
26 Track 0 = 13 Track 00 (ltbrown)
28 Write Protect = 14 Write Protect (ltgreen)
30 Read Data = 1 Read Data (red)
32 Head Select = 2 Side 0 Select (white)
34 Disk Change/Ready =
Any Odd Pins = 7 + 3 Logic Ground (black + dkblue)
* Both Motor Enable A and B are connected to the ST's Motor On (makes sense to me!)
The drive is recognized, but hangs (freezes with message "LBA Change test filed! Write Issue?") on File Manager screen, so i am unable to add images to slots...
I use last firmware and file manafer available... I have also tryed many different USB sticks, but no luck..
I have also tryed the autoboot.hfe from the QuickInstall_FloppyDiskImages archieve, and it works, but this autoboot uses no file manager, using direct switching.. My question is what did i wrong? Why i am unable to launch FM on Atari ST?
I have also noticed that the Gotek shows same content on drive A: and B: so there is not possible to copy images to real diskettes, i assume it is because both Motor Enable A and B are connected to the ST's Motor On, i have tryed to disconnect one, changed the jumper but was unable to solve it...
Maybe someone knows the answer????
