I needed to update an expensive piece of test equipment which still used a floppy drive for I/O. I decided to try the Gotek Floppy Emulator and it installed just like a regular floppy drive. The machine BIOS 'thinks' it's a floppy drive and writes to it like one.
This unit has the ability to make multiple partitions of 1.44MB each, but I only use one partition and it works fine for shuttling data into my report layouts in QuarkXpress.
Writing speeds are the same as a floppy, but of course offloading to a PC goes much faster than a floppy.
Aesthetically, it gives my test instrument an updated look, and even the color of the bezel blends in nicely with the front panel color scheme.
