hello cctalk! i have been working for the past few days on a DECmate II with 
what i believe to be an ailing RX50. i have a gotek with updated flashfloppy 
firmware, but for some strange reason i have been completely unable to get the 
DMII to boot a floppy image from it.

i have been trying to convert the OS/278 and WPS images on the dbit and ibiblio 
archives into a working format for the gotek but none of them will work. at 
this point i have tried too many conversions to recall but they all result in 
the same blinking floppy icon when the unit boots. i have “host = dec” in my 
FF.CFG per the wiki.

has anyone else been able to get this working? if so, could you please provide 
known-good images for a gotek, or the steps to generate them?

thank you in advance!
