I have a gotek with flash floppy, oled, rotary dial.

Can I load images that allow for more space than 1.44mb?

Can anyone upload a larger image that I can edit?

Will a ls120 image work?
2.88mb image?
30mb image? (Ls 120 was able to use regular floppies as 30 mb or something rather)

LS-120 is unlikely. It could emulate a floppy, but its interface was ATAPI. Regardless of fw, a Gotek interfaces with host system via floppy interface. If might be able to behave like a very, very big floppy drive, but not like an LS-120.

Ignoring the hardware you think you have to have in the middle, what do you want to end up with?

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

What were those floppy controller connected tape drives called again ...

QIC-40 and QIC-80

those would give you 40 or 80 MB on a floppy controller 😁

Goal is a image with more space
