Consider Gotek as the generic drive name. There are two versions of the FDD emulator. One is HxC2001 and the other is Flash Floppy. There is a lot of animosity between the two projects. HxC2001 believes FF stole some of the programming. FF's view is that the code was sitting in an open source GIT so he used it. The HxC2001 version requires a license and payment for the license. The FF version does not need a license or payment.

HxC2001 version

• the HxC2001 version has some extra features and support
• the HxC2001 version has some config files and folders to allow more configurations
• see the home page at https://hxc2001.com/

Flash Floppy version

• the FF version does everything you need it to
• the FF version is easier to use
• you format a USB drive as FAT32 and put your ADF files on it. Done.
