Greetings,
I'm putting together a 386, and opted for a 5.25inch A drive, and Gotek B drive, in lieu of a 3.5 inch floppy. This morning I installed a couple of things off the gotek, and copied some install files over to the hard drive. Took a break, and now I cannot get the gotek to work.
When the PC boots, the activity light comes up first on the A drive, then the B drive, but I’m unable to change disks. No matter what buttons I press, the display stays at 000
Things I’ve tried:

+ confirmed the usb thumb drive works on another gotek emulator in a separate PC, no problems
+ replaced the gotek with a physical floppy drive, no problems
+ checked cables, and used different power cables to the gotek
I’m thinking that the gotek has died after 30 minutes use, but are there any other user errors that could be a factor, before I return it? I don’t really want to pull my second gotek out of another build, but that would probably give more information.

A second issue with this 386, I regularly get parity errors on boot with this PC. If I get it to boot without the issue, it's generally fine. Does that point to the RAM being at fault?

Thanks, J
