One thing I don't see though, is why these devices get as bad a rap as they do. Sure they are no faster than a regular floppy, but on the other hand, with the right disk image, almost everything I've tested on it worked. It all mostly comes down to the Amiga's hardware, same as loading from floppy.
I love these Gotek devices. I found some that were flashed for Yamaha with shipping for around 18 bucks, so you just clear that out and reflash it. I read were he did not want to sell them something about having to pay extra tax in his country, but he also did not like people selling them and making money off his work. I am glad he is at least sharing his code. These just save a lot of floppy abuse.
