THanks all of you! I did not see any individual messages, just this whole string at once. I picked up the OLED hack bits, and will install thena and then go with FlashFloppy firmware, and the utilities I have found I have a virtual PC (98, XP, 7) and one windows 8 machine i picked up used specifically for SBC6120, DMII and PDP11/Pro fun. I have dug into the Floppy flash data and it looks like that is exactly what I need. Also dug out my Mittsumi and tring to find my stashed TEAC FD55 device. I still have 3 RX50 drives around, maybe a couple more, just gonna take some time and play with all this aiming at DECMate II as first try. I will keep you posted, THanks again for all the comments!! Appreciate the experience comments on the Gotek and that means I have a chance to get this to work with RX50! bob
