I have that exact one too however, I've never tried it yet. GoTek and cable still sitting in the box for a couple of years.  :-[
If there was an easy to understand way of even setting up a couple of games on it I would try it but I've not yet even checked out how to set up the GoTek. Sad, I know. Help a brutha out and I'll let you know.   ;)

Hey, if it’s any help, here’s a pic of the instructions that came with my cable made by KMTech in the UK.

Here’s their site.   http://www.kmtech.co.uk/

The site states “They Only Sell On eBay”. Not sure what their eBay site is.

I hope Kolla doesn’t report me to the CovidCops!  8)

So I guess it works as both an adapter for a PC drive and also a GoTek.

Well, if you read the last paragraph on the KMTech cable instructions, it states "This cable will NOT work with conventional diskette drives."

I would just like to put my GoTek in an Amiga 1010 external drive chassis (I have an empty one with cable).

IMHO, this cable would do just that.   :)  However, I would NOT use the 1010's original cable.  The 1010's internal ribbon cable is cool though. You might have to mount a Sub-D-Connector an the back of the 1010. Actually, I have a 1011 and I've never taken it apart so I have no idea how it's external cable is connected to the drive inside.   ;D  Heck, maybe just connect it to the 1010's external cable.
