I blindly tinkered with a few configuration settings in the hxc software, and transferring the saved file(s) to the USB stick but nothing improved. With a FAT32 format, the Gotek fully initialises and images are selectable, but the VL1m can't see them at all. With a FAT format the HXC firmware doesn't seem to boot properly, with just 'hxc' displayed. I've tried both FAT and FAT32 formats of the USB stick and that doesn't change things. I've got the right configuration file on the USB stick and followed the naming convention for the Index mode.

I'm now actually worse off because the VL1m can't see any of the images on the USB stick. I then successfully reflashed one of the Goteks. I tried various methods of switching pins 2 and 34 to see if that helped, but nothing did, including as many different jumper settings that I could conceive. This worked faultlessly except that It was not possible to select another floppy without powering down and repeating the former process. I say almost okay because the best scenario during use was to power up the VL1m and select the required floppy number before asking the VL1m to access a 'floppy'. I thought I'd tackle the VL1m 1st because the floppy drive stepper motor appears to be dead.īefore 'upgrading' one of the Goteks I'd got it to work almost okay without any modification. I recently bought 2 Gotek floppy emulators (3 digit version), 1 for my EX5r the other for my VL1m. *** (Copy of details posted in the HxC2001 forum) *** Sorry, but rather a long account of my experience replacing the floppy drive in my VL1m.
