Great alternative if you want to use a floppy-based device.
If you have an old device that use floppy disks, this is the way to go.The UI is cumbersome, since you just have few digits and 2 buttons, but you can mod it with a different LCD to get also the file name, and that is just a matter of swap LCD screen (no soldering needed).IF you want to use it with an Amiga computer, you need to solder a header on the board and flash it; but even in that case, you get access to any floppy software available for that machine in that way, and do not have to worry about floppy loosing their magnetic field after 30+ years of usage.

Great drive, but supplier forgot to tell you where is the software to format USB DRIVES.
It does a great job. One 2 gig usb drives holds 100 1.44 floppies. It only gets 4 stars because you need to format the USB 2 gig a special way and it WAS NOT included. You have to hunt it down. No instructions or even a link to the software came with the drive.

Perfect drive for supporting Amiga ADF's (after flashing)
This is the correct model of GOTEK USB floppy drive emulator if you want to flash it to support your Amiga computer. Make sure to pick up an FTDI cable if you intend to flash the drive and have a handy some extra pin headers and jumpers so you can solder them to the PCB to support the flash. Overall, flashing this drive to support Amiga ADF's was very easy.

The problem is that they sent a CRAP driver CD that didn't work
The drive itself works. I am using this drive to replace the floppy drive in my Yamaha keyboard. The problem is that they sent a CRAP driver CD that didn't work, the CD was corrupted and not burned right. Also it is a small CD that won't work in slot drive laptops, you need a desktop tray to use it. Worse of all it is VERY difficult to find a driver to use this. There is just ONE available on a particular website (that makes a different brand of drive) if you do some research up on Google. The driver version is archaic but play around with it, ultimately it WILL work. I really wish I could use the driver on Mac OSX. Windows only and I doubt that will ever change. Nobody cares to further this technology.

No problem.
I purchased this item 4 weeks ago. I didn't receive any negative comment or bad experience from my costumer.
