If you're just *reading* 8" images it should just be a simple matter of remapping the pins.
Here's a good reference; just reverse your perspective: http://dunfield.classiccmp.org/img42841/cnct.htm FWIW, several dual-mode FDCs, notably Cromemco, effectively duplicate almost all of the relevant 50-pin signals on their 34-pin interface, so no mods or adapters required. In fact, many people use 3.5" and 5.25" HD drives (and presumably Goteks) on the 34-pin cable and they appear as 8" drives to the system. m On Sat, Jan 21, 2023 at 10:26 AM Bill Gunshannon via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > On 1/21/23 01:11, Mike Stein via cctalk wrote: > > FWIW, I just received a Gotek last week and it uses an AT32F415. > > > > The first one I bought many years ago has an STM32F105. > At the time there was no third party firmware and it turned > out to be pretty useless on anything other than a PC. > > With the current hXc2001 firmware it looks to be usable for > any of the disks I may want to replace. > > I just got two new ones and they have AT32F415 chips. > My understanding is that the two are functionally identical. > > We shall see as my fun progresses. > > An interesting note.
