"There's always time for Lubrication !" 🤣 1:56:54

The topics you lads talk about are simply just fun to listen and relate to ❤ Missed the life stram... but oh well busy busy 😊

The Atari ST needs a solution like this. Both Amiga and ST can use GoTek, so I wonder if this would work in an ST. The power connector could be a problem, though. Maybe use that Y cable and an additional floppy cable to place the board in a place that would fit. Also, I want to say ST uses the same pinout as PC, so may have to swap a couple of pins, but wouldn't that also be an issue on GoTek? Does Flash Floppy do that in software?

I have been playing around with a new SD card solution for all Shugart kind of floppy drives. It also is fitted internally. It sits on the cable in between the computer and the floppy drive. It can work in one of three ways. One, as a floppy emulator. Two, lets you use the real floppy drive as a regular drive and three, lets you use the floppy to create disk images from real disks that can be saved back to the SD card. There is no cutting of the case or any obnoxous external attachments to the case required. It is all controlled via wifi and a cell phone app. You can even use images directly from the internet. Externally it is impossible to tell if your retro hardware is using one. It should also be less expensive than a Gotek.

I don’t like this. I know that one opinion changes nothing, but I dislike modifying my Amiga with external mods which change her appearance.

Interesting concept, but still WHDLoad is much easier and faster. And no need for using USB keys as well.

I have that keyboard membrane i both of my A1200. What I like is the keyboard cable is a bit longer, one thing I did was to put the keyboard clip on the cable so th did not get lost.

Great video Steve :) Cheers!

I designed my own gotek ~7 years ago that is 100mm x 40mm and fits in the same place where the FDD is and the usb plugs in where the previous fdd eject button was. The Go-Drive is just another gotek with Flash Floppy firmware ripoff in a smaller board. Considering the Gotek was reverse-engineered at least 10 years ago it's not surprising to see people ripping it off and trying to sell it for 85 pounds lol. No thanks. No-Go-Drive.

I was given an A1200 about 15 years ago by a good friend who had gone peecee for many years by then. The 1200 was one of the few Amigas I had never owned. A few years ago I dragged it out and got it running. The keyboard membrane was totally shot. Maybe 2/3 of the keys worked ok and my efforts to repair bad traces on the membrane met with only limited success. I bit the bullet and ordered one from retrohax in Poland (and one for one of my 4000s as well) and it has worked great ever since. The power supply was shot and wouldn't you know it, my other two A500 PSes were also bad. I chopped off a power cable and grafted it to a PC power supply temporarily, which works fine until I rebuild one of the Amiga power bricks. The 52 MB hard disk was shot so I threw in a 44 pin CF to IDE adapter and cloned some setups from my WinUAE installs with the full boogie of WHDLoad games. It had a working DKB 8 MB and math-co board, which with the stock 020 CPU makes it good enough for most games. While I also have a working A4000D (with both 040/40 and 060/50 boards) the 1200 feels like a better fit for gaming, at least until I pick up or build an A3630 board. The 1200 hasn't been recapped yet, but I have all the caps for it. It tests 100% with diagroms so I'm pretty happy with it so far.

You setup seems wrong in some way. I have seen UA-cam videos where with the CM4 module; you can get Sysinfo to show just short of 3000 times the speed of an Amiga 600 and drive speeds of around 23MB/sec. Also version 4.4? Of Sysinfo would report "Virtual Amiga", I believe. I would really like to see a Pistormed Amiga booting say Debian M68k. I realise that is a big ask though.

Great video 👍👍

Nice idea, bit pricey. With a bit of crafting you can get the gotek board, oled, encoder to work the same way.

Why aren't you running SysInfo 4.4? I think that has more accurate chip speed numbers.

Isn^'t this essentially just an ordinary Gotek hardware, implemented on a smaller PCB? I like the ribbon cable solution though.

I personally went for 'GoEX' drives a couple of years ago, one for my A500+ and one for an A1200. They mount similar to an internal Gotek except they're slimline and fit perfectly in the floppy bay. They use SD Cards instead of USB and have a jog wheel with button and slim screen mounted on the case grill. They sell for 57GBP with oled screen mount.

hello, I did some adjustments on my 60-1 jamma board, and i have a 19 inch monitor, after i was done i noticed now its not showing of full screen 1/4 of it on the bottom isnt stretched to fit. is this in the board or the monitor setting? it used to be full . i just dont remember what i did when i messed with the 4 dip switches

Issues with this is don`t exist together with floppy like gotek (DF1). Can˙t copy adf to floppy.

On mine the game and sounds keeps playing i have an image only for the first 3 mins

Nice explanation and instal chap

Great video Steve :) Go Drive is so well designed! Cheers

i cant see the price on that link you provided ?. does it come in black ?. too match my new case and keycaps ?.

Looks like a more elegant solution than the gotek, I like the idea of having the original floppy drive still in place just for aesthetics even if it rarely gets used. Would be nice in Jessie beige 500 PLA to get a close colour match to the A1200 case.

I have got a general question on Gotek and Go-drive, which are obviously meant to open ADF files on your workbench like real floppy disks. But s it possible to acutally work with virtual disks (adfs)? Do Go-tek and Go-drive allow to write files, edit files such as startup-sequence or even format/overwirte a virtual disk (opened adf image)? Or is it all about accessing write-protected adf-images only?

G0dD@mmiTT Amiga community keeps finding ways to take my money! I love this

Will this work on the A600? And can anyone install it for me please 😕

Reminds me of the Goex on Pills.

When you add those ping sound i stop watching. It is so annoying when using headphones ...

Really nice ! It's works on Escom 1200 ?

Its nice but not 85 pounds nice when compared to the cheap Gotek which works great.

Great video. I like the calm style you have! interesting tips about the go-drive! I have my gotek in external case and did a "change df0 and df1 hack" myself. but this could have worked as well!

cool! would it possible to dump disk to ram swap to gotek write to image ?

Nice little unit but I think your statement of 'a little bit more expensive' is a bit optimistic as it's £85 and Goteks are half that. Running the few wires for the OLED and rotary encoder out to the top is easy to do and end up with the same thing

Electronically, the Go-Drive *is* essentially a Gotek drive. It just has a special form factor specifically designed for the Amiga. It's disingenuous to describe this as "what the Gotek should've been", because without the original 3.5" bay Gotek and the fabulous FlashFloppy open firmware from Keir Fraser this product could never have existed.

Great video 😊 the go drive is excellent. Looking forward to your cdtv video

Awesome collection of cards and info! Thanks for sharing!

All 3 of my C64s don't work anymore :( Anyone willing to help me figure it out? I'm good with soldering iron, software engineer by trade.

Very nice build :) Yap, those flat cables are a bit loose in there :) Cheers!

Great video thanks for the shoutout 😂: you will love the pistorm and the go drive. I’m sure there is plenty on the way as well I heard WiFi is going be announced soon 😊

Think the big draw with the pistorm is the right and when the get the pass thru for hdmi working properly that will be the killer app

The manufacturing date of the console is 2009-08-23

Hello good time. I have an xbox 360 xenon. With dashboard 2.0.14699.0. I wanted to know if there is any problem to use your training. Should I update the dashboard to the latest version or not? thank you.

Emu68 doesn't support MMU, yet. That Phase5 with the black heatsink is PPC and I think it can reference more than the Blizzard 030+SCSI which was 256MB as that is what I had. The max RAM the pistorm can give the A1200 is 2GB. You can also use picasso96 on AGA to get all the chip ram back. Is the go drive the same as the GOEX?

Rocket speed indeed! Look forward to seeing the HDMI setup. :)

I just replaced my battery in my CD-i. Thank you so much for the video! Unfortunately my chip was a little different. The chip was solid and I had to hack away at the plastic all around it forever until it finally came loose. I was finally able to solder a battery holder to the prongs where I cut the battery at. The different connections to the board were covered by the plastic. Was very happy when I was able to save my game on Zeldas Adventure, because I played for 3 hours the other day and lost my game. I also didnt have to take the chip off the board which saved alot of headaches

Very nice fix Steve :) Those caps are damn small, uf... Cheers!

They look like 0402 size which are tiny, not sure why there's 4 though

Great work, cool it works again 🙂

One capacitor vs many to equal the one? Many capacitors in parallel have better ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and ESL(Equivalent Series Inductance) vs one capacitor. This gives better frequency filtering than a single capacitor and often cheaper for doing the same job.
