Gotek Drive 0.96" Display pre-flashed with FlashFloppy for and not limited to Acorn, Amstrad, Amiga, Apple, Atari, Spectrum, DOS / IBM XT PC, MSX.
This is the latest Gotek floppy emulator for retro computers with 3.5" floppy disk drive bay, or for use externally or in a caddy. This will also work Amstrad / Spectrum or computers with 3" disk drives or old PCs with 5.25" drives and such. You will require the correct floppy IDE or Ribbon connection cables and 3D printed mount. Most computers can use the ones supplied within the machine and you can do a straight swap out for the existing old floppy drive (such as in DOS PCs and Amigas) but some machines may need extra leads/connectors (such as Spectrum +3).
Flashed with current latest FlashFloppy firmware and ready to use. Once installed, just insert a USB memory stick with your disk images/files on. Your computer will then boot from this floppy emulator or can also use it as a second drive.

Amiga A500 / A500 Plus Keyboard Membrane (New)
Amiga A500 Keyboard Membrane brand new. If you have issues with your Amiga A500 keyboard with missing keys or missing rows of keys the chances are the membrane needs replacing. The A500 / A500 Plus was supplied with at least 3 different types of keyboard membrane - A version by Samsung had 2 keyboard connectors and these keyboard membranes are NOT compatible. There are also keyboards made by Cherry (with the C= key instead of the left Amiga key) and by NME (these have red Amiga keys) again this membrane is NOT compatible.
This membrane is compatible ONLY with models which have a single keyboard connector - the Mitsumi membranes (part numbers 56 A619A and 56 A619B) both with and without the extra blank / international keys (ie 94 and 96 key versions). If your unsure by all means contact us.
What if you have missing keys or rows of keys on the Keyboard? Try these possible fixes first:
- Check the keyboard plug is inserted all the way in the connector on the Amiga A500 / A500 Plus mainboard.
- If it's only 1 or two keys the plunger may need a clean, strip down the keyboard and clean the plunger with some IPA.
- If it's a whole row of keys missing its a very strong possibility that the membrane on your needs replacing.
