FlashFloppy - The BIG 1.0 release of a FREE and OPEN Gotek firmware!

The Commodore Amiga Facebook community is one of the best places on the internet whereby users around the world can come together and share anything and everything they want related to the Amiga and have fun doing so.

And so this week Keir Fraser has announced the first BIG 1.0 release update of his FREE and OPEN Gotek firmware, which will not only read and write ADF and HFE images, but as of today no manual disk swapping at all with a new auto swap feature!

Gotek Floppy Emulator - Say goodbye Floppy Drive, there's a new king in town!

Through all these years I've always been a purist when it comes to loading games on an Amiga. It just had to be via a floppy drive as that adds to the nostalgia from when I was a child. The problem however came about weeks ago when during its last load, the floppy drive was dead and working disks were becoming hard to track down.... Thus I had to move with the times. Welcome to the Gotek Floppy Emulator; a hardware device that allows you to use USB memory sticks to load floppy files, on not just an Amiga, but an Atari, Amstrad and many others!

An SD Card Interface for your Amiga? Oh Yes!

Through all these years of owning an Amiga, especially the ones with internal hard drives such as an original drive or CF, there has always been a few issues which have been a royal pain for certain users. Some of those annoyances is the fact that you either have to use a PCMCIA adapter with SD Card, take the Amiga apart and remove the CF, or there is also the rather expensive ACA500. However this is set to change with Ferix's new hard drive hardware device called the 'SD Card Interface', which plugs into a parallel port of any Amiga!
