Prepare Gotek
Upgrade the gotek firmware to the latest version
See HxC manuals for details
Set Jumper to S1
The jumpers in my Gotek was set to S0 (2nd row of pins). I set it to S1. This is the 3rd row of pins.
Build in the Gotek
Attention!!: The floppy cable will be twisted in the end. The red line on the cable show line 1, be carefull to connect the cable in the right way.
I replaced a HxC USB device that I had to connect to my PC (in the forground). In the STE the gotek is installed and the SD Memory stick is pluged in.
Prepare USB Memory Stick
Format the Memory Stick as one single FAT32 Partition
A good tool to do that is gparted under Linux
Put HxC files on the USB memory stick
Copy these two files from the HxC FLoppy Emulator Manager Package into the root of the USB Memory Stick (no folders on the memory stick are necessary at all)
AUTOBOOT.HFE
HXCSDFE.CFG
Add Some ST Game Images to the USB Memory Stick
A good start is here:
http://steem.atari.st/automation.htm
Download an image and save it into the root of the USB Memory Stick
Now you have at least 3 files (image and thw tow HxC files) in the root of the memory stick.
Start a Game
Choose an ST Image from the File Selector
Choose a USB Memory Stick Slot for the Image
Press F10 to Save and Exit
See HxC manuals for details
The ST will reboot and the LEDs on the Gotek will show 1.
The ST will boot the image and everythng behave like a floppy Disk is inserted into a floppy drive
Have fun
