Not familiar with the Gotek product, but from looking at the Amazon link I am understanding that this device connects to the computer using a standard flat floppy cable. Is this correct? Then, instead of a floppy disc, I can use any kind of USB flash memory drive to emulate a 1.44MB floppy.? Interesting.
For example, if I manage to get MS-DOS on the USB flash stick and connect the Gotek to an old PC, will it boot to MS-DOS?
Thanks, Salvador
