<p>For the drive to work in the Atari, it has to be jumpered to drive select 0 (S0). Whether it runs as internal drive A: or external drive B:, the wiring inside a floppy station uses the usual power and data cables, though the data cable isn't keyed, so check pin 1. The front bezel of the floppy station may need cutting out to fit the emulator mechanically.</p>
<h2>My Setup</h2>
<p>One of the Gotek emulators is installed in my Mega ST 4 "Low" machine, giving it reliable disk-image storage on a USB stick alongside the <a href="/retro/storm-cloudy/">Cloudy/Storm ST combo</a>, the <a href="/retro/sidecartridge/">SidecarTridge</a> and the <a href="/retro/atari-networking-bbs/">Wi-Fi modem</a>. The second Gotek is still unbuilt, waiting to go into another machine or to serve as a spare.</p>

<p>For the internal mount I printed a <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2664753" target="_blank">Gotek case from Thingiverse</a> that fits in the floppy bay. I used this to relocate the Storm/Cloudy TOS switcher: the 2-way switch is mounted in a slot at the front of the printed case, right where the floppy opening is. So the TOS switcher now sits at the front of the floppy bay, which meant no drilling into the case at all, and there was already space there for it.</p>
