With the 1.44mb IC now working, I believe that the FlashFloppy Gotek firmware has a setting in FF.CFG for setting pin 2 based on floppy density. That said, my initial testing only shows 5v on pin 2 with both 720k and 1.44mb floppy images mounted. If I can figure this out, then I can wire the output from pin 2 to the JP18 bottom pin to feed this into the 1.44mb IC.

pin02 = auto* | nc | low | high | rdy | nrdy | dens | ndens | chg | nchg
• Manually assign an output signal (Gotek->host) to floppy interface pin 2
• auto: Automatically determined from interface = setting
• nc: Unused / No Connection
• low, high: Constant low (0v) or high (5v) voltage
• rdy, nrdy: Drive ready, or logical complement
• dens, ndens: Density mode (HD = 0v), or logical complement
• chg, nchg: Disk changed, or logical complement

Okay, I now have my Gotek outputting on pin 2 4.88v and 0.006v when 720kb and 1.44mb floppy images are mounted. Had to update FlashFloppy to v2.14 for the pin 2 setting in FF.CFG to work with density.

Now when I connect pin 2 from the Gotek to the JP18 this stops the Gotek working so will need to do more testing to see what is happening.

I have now managed to get the Gotek (with FlashFloppy firmware v2.14) working with 720kb and 1.44mb floppy images. FlashFloppy FF.CFG pin02 = ndens reverses the voltage output to match the H4 and I have switched between the different size floppy images on-the-fly and they work fine. So with the feed from the Gotek pin 2 to JP18 bottom pin (closest the keyboard) everything works fine. :D

Well done, any chance of a step by step instruction @kodak80 when you get a mo?

Just wanted to share the final DMA H4 fix PCB in place. The previous images show the IC in the wrong place on the PCB.

Will work on this. Will create a new topic.
