Hardware and firmware settings

Gotek floppy emulator jumper setting
The only jumper to set is the drive ID / select line input : This can be set to "S0", "S1" or "MO".
Generaly for PC compatible machines the jumper to set is "S1". For Shugart compatible machines this is S0 or S1 for the second drive.

Important
|
With this firmware the only valid jumpers positions are "S0", "S1" and "MO". It is important to remove all others jumpers if present. The others pin/"jumpers" positions are now used by others functions/features (extra buttons, rotary, screen…). |
