+====Misc Notes====
   * FF 3.41 is current as of 2023-Aug
+  * ideally, try to find a 435 chip it has 384KB of SRAM
+  * most new Goteks have a 415 chips which work fine for Amigas, that chip only has 32KB SRAM, this will limit things like extra features and HD file images, again not a biggie for Amigas
+  * there is an open hardware version of the gotek named OpenFlops it works with Flash Floppy
