I did extensive testing on the goteks which daniel knows about as the 1.44mb version was 50% cheaper than the 720k versions so I tried to use jumpers and the like I then read both drives firmware and it was the firmware but they also had other problems to previous versions for the sy85 and disk changing

They also work with the akai s900/950

The k5000

But would never work with the fz the fz uses the original 5.25shurgart standard and so spins at the 360 rpm which is very unusual and at that time it was the first 16bit sampler and the first to use 1.44mb drives every one was still using 720k drives

And why its very hard to image disks on a pc as it comes back error wrong speed when using a standard 1.44disk drive with the hxc software but if you use the fz1 drive its ok

I agree Emma, I bought the HXC for the FZ1 and it really is fantastic, and I have a SCSI Magneto Optical drive serving my AKAI S1000/3000xl and the convenience serves my creativity more so than hunting down elusive floppies....and thanks for clearing up the inadequacies of the GOTEK
