A guy in Europe uses a GOTEK USB floppy replacement to re-flash his own
firmware for the Amiga and has made all the tools/files available.
Looks like he intends on getting this also working with the Amstrad CPC
range of computers...although certain model of GOTEK can work in 'Image"
mode, allowing them to work on the Amstrad...may be able to do something
similar with the CoCo...
