The next step is to deal with the USB stick that could contain a HUGE amount of floppies ! You will have to create and format a fat32 partition (this can easily done with Gparted).

  • Plug the power and floppy drive connector back properly.
  • Use the original screws to mount the rails.
  • Use a screw that was delivered with the Gotek to prepare the holes in the shell.
  • Now, it’s time to put the Gotek inside the MC-50 (but you should definitely test that things are working properly before screwing everything back in place). Image for alternate setting 0, (2 elements, total size = 112612)

    Some logs when the gotek is plugged to the PC host : Remove the temporary pinout and can connect the Gotek to your PC with the USB-A to USB-A cable. These connections will have to be removed once the firmware has been flashed !.This one will have to stay in place once the firmware has been flashed.

  • Put a jumper on S0 on the other group of jumper over the floppy connector.
  • These 2 connections will have to be removed once the firmware has been flashed.
  • Put a jumper on J3 (like the yellow one) and a Dupont female-female (like the orange one).
  • Once, the extra pins have been added, you will have to set them up :
  • Some pins are missing at the right bottom.
  • A female/female Dupont cable and some jumpers.
  • Some basic soldering skills or some fun/luck with paperclips.
  • For information, the reference SFRC922D is printed on the board. The Gotek seems to be often delivered without some of the required pins, so you might have to remove the board from its shell and had some. As I don’t have an USB-TTL adapter, I had do do it over USB.

    The first FlashFloppy installation has to be done either by serial or USB link to a PC host (as explain on this wiki page). Let’s go the open-source way ! This limitation seems to be irrelevant with the FlashFloppy firmware ! Yummy ! This model is the SFR1M44-U100K and does not seem to be able to read 720K floppies (the picture below is a capture from the owner’s manual). The MC-50 was complaining differently : “Error22 DISK I/O See owner’s manual”. I then tried to copy an empty MF2-DD (720K) virtual floppy on the USB stick.The MC-50 was then outputting an error message : “Attn ! NO DISK Press STOP”.I was able to format the USB stick by pressing the 2 buttons on the Gotek at the same time.It was delivered without documentation or software… Very handy ! Once the Gotek was received, I decided to keep it simple and try the beast with the stock firmware. The MC-50 is very easy to open (less than 10 screws).

    I particularly like the DIY concept, especially when it comes to saving old iconic gear. Especially Linux users that are fighting with such a piece of hardware. This page was written as a documentation for myself but could, maybe, be useful for others. I was really happy to discover this alternate open-source firmware ! As you will see later, It was definitely a good move ! Why ? Because it was not expensive, black and listed as being compatible with FlashFloppy. I bought a SFR1M44-U100K Gotek floppy emulator. After some years and a quick research, I decided that it was time to get this baby back to life.
