Hi there, hope you're all doing well...
There is a slight change I get a friend to bring me a floppy emulator from overseas, given that down here they are sold at 10 to 20 times their AliExpress value.
But in this forums for instance, they seem to be always referred to as "Goteks" so I wonder if that's a specific brand I should go for or any no-brand unit should be theoretically ok.
I also just read about an open source firmware that greatly expands their capabilities, but again, I'm not sure if brands are a real issue or not if I' d be willing to use that alternative firmware.
Edit: I should add that I am considering a getting Gotek mostly to be able to install some old OSes whose installers I think might be floppy based only.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
