Obtained and installed a Gotek Model SFR1M44-U100K-R advertised as a replacement USB floppy drive emulator for my XP-50.
It came with no instructions.
It came with three jumpers attached/installed: left unchanged.
Upon XP-50 power-up, Gotek displays "0.0." with green light lit.
DISK/UTILITY > 5
ISK > 1:FORMAT blinks normally.
Insert 2GB USB stick: Gotek green light flickers, Gotek displays "00" (no dots), DISK/UTILITY > 5ISK > 1:FORMAT flickers.
Press ENTER: XP-50 displays "DISK NOT READY".
EXIT/PANIC: 1:FORMAT continues flickering.
Flickering Gotek green light and XP-50 FORMAT flickering eventually stop: XP-50 locked-up.
Power-up XP-50 with 2GB USB stick inserted in the Gotek with both buttons pressed on Gotek faceplate:
DISK/UTILITY > 5ISK > 1:FORMAT > ENTER > enter name [#name#] > ENTER: "FORMATTING 1/80"
USB stick light shows brief activity.
But no change in "1/80" displayed.
Increment Gotek display to "01", "02", "03" etc: USB stick light shows brief activity but no change in "1/80".
Let it work overnight: no further progress.
The XP-50 appears to be locked-up. No response to any button press or jog wheel.
I don't know what the next steps are to successfully progress through the *apparently* 80 sectors the XP-50 seems prepared to format.
Any and all assistance greatly appreciated!
