I'm aware that I'm not the only person who's been having these issues, those being getting *ERROR* 34 when trying to set up a GoTek floppy emulator running FlashFloppy firmware.
I recently bought one of the higher-end models, with the OLED display and rotary encoder (those little units do look nice), wanting to attempt to update the bios on an old NT4 workstation machine from around ~1997, Dual Slot2 Intel MS440GX motherboard. The latest BIOS revision should support up-to Pentium 3 Xeons @550MHz 2MB cache, and GeForce FX cards (of which I have a pair of 550MHz P3X's w/ 2MB cache and an old FX5200 I want to put in there, yeah I know it's not period accurate but I want something cheap with DVI and VGA out).
I went through the standard procedure from the FlashFloppy Github, making a FF.CFG file:
interface = ibmpc
host = unspecified
pin02 = auto
pin34 = auto
write-protect = no
display-type = oled-128x64-rotate*
oled-font = 8x16
display-off-secs = 255
step-volume = 20
*initially I didn't have the [-rotate] string in the config file so it made the display upside-down, but I fixed that pretty quickly.
Only thing I haven't been able to get around is *ERROR* 34, I've changed the config file countless times and put some blank 1440k floppy images on the drive (FAT32, 8GB USB2 flash drive), putting them in different folders or in the root folder, but alas, I'm still stuck at this point.
Tried talking to some friends that are more well-versed at this kind of stuff than I am, and they're equally stumped.
I want to get somewhere with this thread so that in future people who have the same issues can get them fixed.
