Hello, Thank you, Lord, for this recording. Very useful!
I appreciate your kind words. Thank You
Thank you for this. It was very helpful. Now to begin the process of converting shoe boxes of disks that has been sitting for years 😬 I have a vintage drum machine that I want to convert as you describe in this video. Thanks again
You are welcome, I am glad it was helpful!
Great Job, very well explained
Thank You!
I have two Yamaha MDF 2 and 3 drives. This question.
To MDF-2 ... 720KB, can I connect Gotek station to 1.44 MB ( Sfr1M44-U100K ) + 24pin/34pin adapter? Do I have to buy a GOTEK 720 station, e.g.
SFRM72-FU? + 24pin/34pin adapter? Greetings.
Actually you will need to use a 720KB Gotek Drive because your Keyboard has a bus capacity limitation and it can only host a 720KB DD Drive. Also make sure to get a good quality adapter because I had bad luck with many Chinese adapters that wouldn't work.
My new favorite tech channel.....thanks!
Wow, I really appreciate it!
have to agree, Awesome Job well Explained
I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for your complement, I appreciate it.
you should be a teacher based on your ability to express your knowledge. happy to hear you!
Wow, thank you!
Great best technical explanation I want to see such types of videos on other topics
Thank You!
Great review. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome, thanks for your feedback
Hello, The best explanation i have see on this subject, you thought me how to understand it in simple terms, thanks again
Thanks for your compliments, I am glad I was able to help.
great information, I am at the begining stages of installing a emulator on cnc Lathe. Thank you.
Best of luck!
I'm looking to convert the drive on my Baby Lock Ellageo ESG. From what I have found, it looks like it would use a 1.44 mb with a 26 pin interface. Any suggestions on where I can find the right one? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I think they use the same drive as the one in Brother Embroidery machine which is this one

Thanks for you effort, good explaination.
You are welcome!
Thank you ! usb is going to be out of business soon we looking for wifi for our cnc
Yes the USB is going out of business, but these machines are too old for WiFi so they have no choice but use this interface.
Thank you for sending this video request from my ebay before purchase. my question is, would i be able to see the files on my Roland MC 80 screen, scroll while it is plating a file ? Thank you
You are very welcome, so it will be just like as if you had a floppy disk. You can load all the or some of the files from the floppy disk on to the Roland MC80 internal memory to be visible on the screen. You can only do one floppy disk at a time. For a 720KB floppy you can only load up to 720K at a time, then you have to push the button the front of the Emulator to switch to Floppy Disk 2 and so on
Thanks for this great video. I have one question though. I want to use this on a Brother ULT series embroidery machine. The machine came with a drive that looks to be a PCMCIA card reader to upload images to the machine. If I wanted to install the emulator that you demonstrated, do I have to upload the images via emulated floppy disks or will the machine recognize a USB drive that isn't partitioned with emulated floppies and just added to a FAT formatted USB stick?
I hope this makes sense as to what I am asking
Yes but the Flash drive must be FAT32 format and not FAT, FAT16, NTFS, Mac or eXFat. Also each file must be on Root directly not inside any folders, and files must not exceed 1.4MB in size. On some machines even the file name must not exceed 8 characters "Old DOS File Name Length Limitation"
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thank you so much for the quick response and information. My wife will now be able to use her sewing machine.
@@robertoswalt319 No problem, I hope it will be a successful modification
The problem is that that device in particular Gotek doesn’t have a option to came down... well if you are in the 014 and you need to came to the floppy 010 for example it doesn’t allow it our it only allows you to go up... I have two floppy drivers working well in keyboards but until now I haven’t found a solution to this issue...
Cloud you help me?!....
The only solution is to press the +1 button a few times for the 4 to become 0 so you will be pressing the right button 6 times.
The best tutorial thank you sir !!
You are very welcome!
We have installed new USB in my Brother ULT2002D embroidery machine. But when I install USB, with designs on, machine gives a message that it cannot read "disk". I have GoTek USB, new. The floppy drive had ceased to work so we converted to USB. Would the fact that floppy ceased to work make any difference in the USB working?
Hi, you need to watch this video and follow the steps th-cam.com/video/pm6NR9MoEQI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks alot for the video just a question the usb, any other usb could be work o it has to be the exact same one that it came with the adapter ? In case y want to have many usb i need to formating and use it. Regards
Most USB flash drives will work as long as the File Format is FAT32, and not exFat, NTFS, FAT, or Mac Partition. The SanDisk Flash Drives works sometimes but not all the time.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thanks for the answer, another question, this adapter Will work on a CNC weiler machine, or for an Cnc machine in general it's the same model from the Ebay page from the link i'm the description
@@alejandroivansanchez7570 That is hard to answer unless I know the exact model number of the CNC machine. Even better if I know the model number of the original floppy drive in that machine. Only then I can tell you exactly which emulator will work on it.
Nice explanation thank you
You are very welcome
Hi my cnc lathe has a floopy disk drive so how do i get the usb stick to adapt to the slot where the floppy disks would go ?
This device will replace the USB Drive and after you install this you can no longer use floppy disks.
Thank you so much for this explanation, it is by far the most comprehensive breakdown of the process.
A question: I have followed all steps but my Roland G800 fails to recognize the usb/disks. So it doesn't play anything from the usb. Do you know how to solve that issue?
There could be several reasons here are some more common ones
The jumper settings on the emulator is wrong
The firmware on the emulator is not for the correct device
The capacity is wrong
The Flash Drive is not formatted correctly.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 of all these I think it's the firmware. How can I update it? I am not very technical unfortunately...
@@adnanmalkoc5331 Sorry for the late reply. So, in order to know which Firmware you need, we need to know the exact model number of the original Floppy Drive that came with your Roland G800 device.
That for your video, it really help to understand how it work. However I have one question, is the software can run in window xp and 2000 only? Can it run in newer version like window 7 or window 10?
Yes it does run on Windows 7 but on Windows 8 or 10 you have to run it as Administrator and in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. Most of the time that will work but sometimes it will not. So it is highly recommended to use Window 7 or older.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 really appreciated for your reply. i have another question. when we looking for the USB Flash drive, as long as the flash drive are compatible to current old floppy drive, then it will work? Because my old machine is so kind of custom made machine, i even do not know model and name for the machine.
@@ccm2886 The Flash drive must meet the following criteria, 1. Must be no more than 8GB small is OK, 2. Must be formated as FAT32 not NTFS, NOT exFAT, 3. Must be USB 2.0, Not USB 3.0, and you have to use this software khalids.com/downloads/Software/USB_Floppy_Emulator_1.40i.zip
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Just notice my existing FDD is 3mode type, and jumper set at 1.2mb after format. so i'm guess i should buy a gotek SFT1M2-FU to try?
@@ccm2886 Yes you can try that, however make sure to get it from a seller how will accept returns, because there are many other factors that could make it incompatible. For example Firmware, Pin assignment, jumper variations etc. Having that said try to get it locally not internationally since returning it will be difficult.
about fell outta my chair laughing when you said the disk reader is working hard. not at you, but ive had stroke and do remember some of the good ol days. Watching the dot to dot come every minute or so. untill screen was full. You lost me at each disk, used program to stack multiple programs on one disk, both sides. so got lost. no biggy, but i tried. great technology, glad they make it. thumb up.
I know I remember those days too, lol. Technology has come a long way since.
Hello thank you for this video. I have a Melco embroidery machine. Ther floppy disk drive was installed so that I can upload mt designs directly to the machine via floppy disks. Can this process work to change my machines floppy drive ti a usb drive?
Hi, first I would like to thank you for subscribing to my channel.
Your device was originally manufactured with 4 different types of Floppy drives, and they are not interchangeable. Some of them came with a 26 Pin 1.44MB Drive, some with 26 Pin 720KB Drive, some with 34Pin 720KB, and some with 34Pin 1.44MB Drive. This will only fit those ones that originally came with a 34Pin 1.44MB Drives. We do carry other ones but I need to know exactly which model floppy drive is currently in there. Thank you
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I don't know whether I am better off or worse off than the person above with the Melco. I have a Melco EP1B that attaches to a computer via a cord and a long "card" that installs inside the computer, and the software that reads to the card is old and only compatible (from what I remember) with Windows 98 (computer had a floppy drive). Is there a way to enable this Melco EP1B to read embroidery designs?
@@barbarakaaikala1164 You can make it work with Windows 8 and 10 if you follow these steps th-cam.com/video/XVIyMQ-NbzQ/w-d-xo.html

Thank,
The best explanation
You are welcome!
Hi, I followed this for a Kawai 5000W I get "Error 34" on the display. Also I noticed on the original drive that came with it were .IMG files. Do you think it's a jumper setting issue or am I creating the wrong file type?
Hi, you need to use the Floppy Disk Manager software to read and writ to each floppy bank. You can't do it in Windows Explorer. Also the jumper settings must match the old drive so check if that one was Master/Slave/or Cable select and set this emulator to that exact settings.
Thank you. This is the usefull vdo for me. Thank you so much.
You are most welcome
Hello Sir, thanks for your vídeo! Could You recomend a good emulator for IBM OS/2 system?
No problem, the exact type of emulator and the exact jumper settings depends on the type of floppy drive that is currently installed on your IBM OS/2 system. So you need to see if it is a 26pin/34pin, or old 5 1/4" drive.
Hello, what is the color configurations of the power supply cables?
Is for 24 v? Or 5 v?
Thanks in advance
Hi, The power Supply is 5V and the two middle poles are ground
Hollo I just installed the usb emulator onto my charmilles roboform 35 p machine ,I’m having problems seeing the programs , it reads the thumb drive but just shows how much space is left but not the programs . Please help
It was nice talking to you sir, simply rename the files with names not to exceed 8 characters and it should be fine. This is due to DOS File Name limitation in some machine's bios.
It works, Thank you
You're welcome! I am glad it worked for you
Sir, I am impressed by the clarity of the concepts reviewed by you in this video. Normally the videos about this subject talk about the adaptation of this unit to the Amiga owners.
I have dreamed to upgrade my CASIO wk1800 keyboard to this USB drive. But since a lot of those videos on the net make me doubt about my capabilities. I say so since most of them assume that flashing the microcontroller in the gottek drive will be piece of cake or worst they send you to a site where the driver to flash it will cost more than the keyboard itself. Some keyboards owners even complain that their machines has to be resetted or turned off every time you select another virtual drive. I just wonder if I follow the procedure that you explain in the video will this work for my CASIO or I will be looking for another brand with similar characteristics than the gottek offered by Amazon or Aliexpress. And of course where in the net there is a table that could help with those jumpers that are so famous because of the problems they produce during many faulty convertions.
Thank you for your compliments. Your CASIO WK1800 Keyboard was originally manufactured with 3 different types of Floppy Drives, and some of these are not interchangeable. So for me to help you find the exact emulator for your keyboard, I will need to know which exact model of floppy drive was originally installed in it.
great explanation!
Thank You!
Help please, I have an Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 that takes floppy disks but I want to upload it to us...I can't really find much informations online only about brothers machines...I just found a reseller that did in fact updated this machine to usb, so I know that it can be done but I don't know how :(
Hi, can you please send me a few photos of your old existing floppy drive, so that I can see if I can find a compatible emulator for that. You can reach me through here www.khalids.com/contact.htm
Hi, is there a difference between an industrial floppy emulator, and musical floppy emulator?
Hi, there is no difference in the hardware but major differences in the firmware. Specially the ones for Haas CNC Machine. If you buy a programmer you can convert any of them for anything but the process has multiple steps here is an example th-cam.com/video/Q2qVgBJUI5U/w-d-xo.html
Finally got mine to work in my Roland KR570 digital piano - it required some jumper changes and trial and error, but it works great now.
I am glad to hear that, if you don't mind could you take a photo and share it with us of the exact jumper combination that worked for your KR570
Thank you very much for the informations in that video! What about dos machines? Is this method suitable?
Yes once the Emulator is recognized in the system BIOS even dos operating System will recognize it as Drive A:\ . However you still need a windows 7 or XP computer to transfer the files to the Flash Drive.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 thank you very much!!
@@superextraultra6921 No problem!
Hi, I bought a Gore tek emulator(1.44m) from Ali expresses for my Happy HCG series embroidery machine. I installed it correctly and transfer files to USB via UFdiskmanager. My machine recognizes USB, displays the files at USB but won't copy files to machine memory, instead, I got an error 141 message "Not found the name". Can you give me some advice on what should I do?
Hi, there are so many factors to consider I will write them all and you can check step by step one at a time.
1. Make sure the Gotek Emulator's Firmware is Universal such as Flash Floppy or other Gotek Universal Firmware
2. Make sure the jumper settings on the Gotek floppy Emulator matches the old floppy that came out of the machine
3. Make sure the file names are not exceeding 8 characters duke to old DOS File Name Limitations
4. Make sure the Flash Drive is not defective and fully functional
5. Make sure the Flash drive reads no more than 1.44MB when you plug it on to your computer
Thanks
Have you fixed it? Just bought one for my hcg happy it showd error 34
I'm guessing you would have no clue about this question/problem - but when I insert my USB drive into the CNC machine, I am able to read/copy files off of the USB drive without problem. However, when I copy files from the CNC machine to the USB, it doesn't go on there. On the machine it looks like the files are on the USB, they show up in the FD0 directory. However when I take it to a computer and look at it, there's nothing there! Almost seems like there's a write protection on. Does any of you have any thought on that? Any thing that I'm missing?
Are you using Windows 10 to read the flash drive?
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I use Windows 10 to run the "USB Floppy Management" utility to format the USB drive to 100 floppy disks. Then I take that to the CNC Lathe controller (OSP-E100L) and insert it. I then navigate to the directory and copy the items to the FD0 - "floppy disk" but now actually the USB drive. On the controller it shows that the file copied to the FD0 but when I bring it back to the Windows 10 computer there's nothing on the USB drive.
When I want to copy files from the Windows 10 to the CNC machine I follow your directions on this video and then take it to the CNC machine, insert the drive, refresh the FD0 and the files show up. I can can copy them to the machine, no problem. But it only goes one way. Hope that makes sense.
@@DelmarPenner Yes that makes sense, but you need to watch this video, I made for Windows 10 users th-cam.com/video/XVIyMQ-NbzQ/w-d-xo.html
thaks great video, how i can send an archive with the size biger than 1.44 to the floppy?
Just like with floppies you will need to split the file on multiple parts of 1.39MB each. The machine will then ask you to insert Disk2, Disk3 etc.
Very nice and usefull tutorial.
Thank You!!

Is there a generic software to covert usb thumb drive to floppy format? I lost the usb drive that came with an old proto trak machine and when

Hello, sir. Thanks so much for your video. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you for a bit of help...I have a Mitsubishi CO2 CNC LXP laser with an LC10BV controller. I'm trying to replace its Citizen LR102061 MN 3.5 floppy drive with a recently purchased Gotek SFR1M44-U100 USB SSD Floppy Drive Emulator. Can you offer any suggestions for how I should configure the jumpers on the Gotek? It appears the old Citizen floppy drive has a jumper on what is labeled as "DS DS0", but "DS DS1" does not have a jumper on it. Thanks for any help you might provide.
Based on what I see on eBay the Citizen LR102061 is a slime 26pin drive. If that is the case then the SFR1M44-U100 will not be compatible with it.
Is this the correct drive that you have www.ebay.com/itm/223589336267
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 No, sir. Although the LR102061 number is the same, the drive I have is a 34pin drive (2 rows of 17). My laser controller's cable is 34pin as well and connects just fine. My drive's physical dimensions are also larger than what's indicated at that ebay link. The label on my drive is very similar, but it has "OSD" where the one at your link reads as "XID*-***". Also, both are 5V, but mine is rated at 930mA instead of 700mA. I'd like to add that there's a bar code label on my Citizen drive that reads "B25L 000794A-7Y". Thanks so much for your reply.
@@mrau92me Let me see if I can find the Data Sheet for your drive, only then I can tell you which Emulator to use.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Ok, thanks. In case you need it, here is some information about my old Citizen drive's pcb jumper markings. There are 5 rows of 2 pins. Each row's marking reads as follows: 1. |DS|DS1| 2. |DS|DS0| 3. |MD2|H| 4. |MD1|H| 5. |MD1|L|. Row 2 |DS|DS0| is the only one with a removable jumper installed. However, Row 5 |MD1|L| appears to be jumpered with solder on the backside of the pcb. Also, rows 3 and 4 do not have a pair of pins available to receive a jumper, only a pair of holes in the pcb. I believe my Gotek should have a jumper at S0, but I'm not sure what jumper on my Gotek would correspond with the |MD1|L| from my Citizen pcb.
Thanks so much for the time taken to do this.... really appreciated!

Hi i have a cnc punching machine Haco the floppy drive is install but i dont know which floppy does machine take
Also please help me chose usb simulater
Hi, Could you open it and read the model number of the actual floppy drive that is there right now, or send a photo of it to me please?
Sorry, but this vid has A LOT of misinformation. Just go online to HxC and/or FlashFloppy firmware websites for the REAL info, and after you educate yourself a bit, ask questions on the forums there. DO NOT WASTE ANY MONEY ON EXPENSIVE GOTEK DRIVES! They are currently as low as $16 USD on Aliexpress (and a bit more on Ebay) shipped directly from China (takes about 2.5-4 weeks to USA) or about as low as $25 quickly shipped from third-party Amazon Prime sellers. Flash the firmware yourself from either website above, you'll need correct cable (choose 1 from 2 different styles, about $2 each, the USB-USB types don't require buying & soldering pin headers into Gotek). You can "mod"/enhance Gotek with replacement text/ alphanumeric display (OLED is best & most popular, as low as $2.50 shipped), a rotary/push button dial (KY-040 most popular, plus knob, about $1 for pair shipped), plus piezo buzzer for simulating floppy drive sounds (less than $2 for 10-pack). Good to buy some Dupont-style female-female wires for mods, too ($1-2 for 40). Good luck!
Very good video, could you give me information on to open the software on the Gotek emulator we are on windows 10 and I think you need an earlier windows programme, many thanks
Here is how you do it on Windows 10 th-cam.com/video/XVIyMQ-NbzQ/w-d-xo.html
Man, no wonder some charge $300 vs $13, if you want it to work, pay for what is needed. My need is for a 1999 Barudan BENT embroidery machine, bios & format means everything, so I'll start with the $13 one then likely cough up that $300, so I'm sure it will work.
Yes that is a good idea but make sure the pin layout is a match with your existing Floppy Drive because a wrong configuration could damage your embroidery machine.
Hello I have an old prototrak dpm mill with two floppy disk drives, one for the operating system and one for saving programs. I also have a laptop and a usb floppy drive. Would it be possible to copy the operating system floppy and and transfer it to the usb drive and get it to run with one of these emulators. Great video by the way.
That would depend on the file system in your Operating System disk. This is a DOS System Emulator and most Mills and CNC machines are also DOS System so technically it should just work fine. However the reality is not always what you would expect. So I recommend buying it from a seller who has Free Returns and can take it back and give you a full refund in case it didn't work.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I have swf embroidery machine .i want to buy pen emulate .wich type the better for my machines .
Hi, that depends on what type of floppy drive is currently installed in it. If you give me the exact model number of your embroidery machine I can look it up.

i want to transfer some sounds in wav format to the usb how do i do to transfer them or convert them someone help me thanks to use them in an akai mpc 2000xl thanks
Greetings, the wave format is actual analog sound. It is not digital information. So the synthesizer will not be able to recognize the wave format as back up data.
What is maximum capacity (limitation) for USB memory stick? I heard, the capacity should not be more than 4 GB. Is it true? thanks
Depends on the brand of the USB Flash Drive, for example some 8GB also work good, but never use anything larger than 8GB. Also SanDisk and Kingston Flash Drives are known to have issues with it. Most generic brands work OK
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thank you very much for the reply. Have a nice weekend

Great video....I have a Hurco BMC30 (34 pim) could you direct me to the emulator I need to order?
I believe the one for Haas CNC should work for you because they use the same algorithm. Here is the link to it

Hello Sir I just watch your video and very interested. We want replace old floppy drive on machine wire edm mitsubishi 1993. Can you suggest what kind of emulator match with this machine? On the old floppy drive there are part no: DDF3-50B. Thanks a lot Sir.
Greetings, can you please send me a photos of the old floppy drive showing all the labels and and connectors on the back. I can be reached through our website www.buygreeninc.com
I got to change many floppy drives devices to usb emulators.
The machines to change are sangiacomo socks machines, can you help me a little bit with your experience please?
The answer depends on the model number of the floppy drive that is currently installed in your machines.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 appears a message when the machines turn on, " Diskette drive failure on drive A", this error appears when the IDE cable is on wrong position.
@@tonymatec You should not use the IDE cable for floppy drives, the IDE is only for hard drives and they have 40pins the one for the floppy is only 34pin flat cable.
Does it work for Korg i3??
I don't think so, but this one might www.ebay.com/itm/333827132240
can i copy files from a pc to the floppy usb?
Yes you can but only if you use the Special Software. It is called USB Floppy Manger V1.41 and it works on Windows XP or Windows 7, it will not work very well on newer versions of Windows.
Hello, I can't install the floppy ubs flash drive of the technology dubstep, the driver cd is opened directly, the setup part does not come, thanks
You can download the file here www.khalids.com/downloads/Software/USB_Floppy_Emulator_1.40i.zip
@TECHNOLOGY I downloaded the TIPS setup, thank you very much, but I would be very grateful if you could contact me and tell me how to connect it to the cnc machine.
@@erkiletmakine9609 I don't have any exact instructions for each machine but it should pretty straightforward. All you need to do is take out the old floppy and replace it with the emulator, however, you need to make sure the jumper settings are correct and match the old floppy drive.
Watching that data copy from that floppy made me really happy 😂
Glad to hear that, be safe
Hi
I want to convert floppy disk 💾 to usb for technics kn2000 keyboard 🎹 just looking for help
Thanks 🙏🏻
Greetings, that depends on the type of floppy drive currently installed in your Keyboard. Some of them came with a 26pin drive and if that is the case you need to get an adapter that changes 34pins to 26pins.
very good
Thanks
Is possible to change the firmware of this kind of devices?
Yes you can, it is very involved and depending on the chipset inside the process is different. The newer ones don't have the original ST Chipset, they have a different kind of chip now.
i tried all you thought but when i put the flash drive the emulator was flashing red light and the machine did not read the files what went wrong
Try a different flash drive maybe the flash drive memory has been corrupted.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I did but I noticed that when I connect it to my computer it works. I can read what is in the flash but when I connect to the machine it will not read
@@raphaelibuzo3549 Try reading it on the emulator with the selector switch set to 000 and if you can read it normal, it means that you haven't formatted the flash drive correctly. Also files must be on the root directly in each bank, you can't put them inside folders.
Genius
Thank You!
Tk 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No problem!
So this won't allow you to transfer a larger file?
Correct, only files as big as 1.40MB on the 1.44MB version or 700KB on the 720KB version.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 any other suggestions for larger files? Our bare minimum file alone is 2.7mb. our rs232 drip feed isn't stable, drops randomly. Replaced computer, hours and hours and hours changing and matching settings, replaced rs232 cable. Centurion 6.

Do you know if this will work for a happy hog-1206
Greetings,
Your device was originally manufactured with 4 different types of Floppy drives, and they are not interchangeable. Some of them came with a 26 Pin 1.44MB Drive, some with 26 Pin 720KB Drive, some with 34Pin 720KB, and some with 34Pin 1.44MB Drive. This will only fit those ones that originally came with a 34Pin 1.44MB Drives. We also carry other types, but I need to know the exact floppy drive that your machine came with. Thank you
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I will take the control box apart and send you pictures of it thank you good sir!

JUMPER SETTING FOR CNC EXECELLON CENTURY 2001 MODEL.
Greetings sir, the jumper settings depends on the current configuration of the system utility software in the CNC machine. Just like the Bios Settings on a PC. So there is no fixed setting that would work for all CNC EXECELLON CENTURY 2001 MODELS. The best way to tell what the current settings are is to look at the jumpers of you existing Floppy Drive.
Thankyou so much for this good work and my name is Sisay Abera from Ethiopia, East Africa. so I am very Interested to receive this driver......how i found it?
You are very welcome, and here is the link www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dkr=1&iconV2Request=true&_blrs=recall_filtering&_ssn=khalidsiddiqi&store_name=khalidsstore&_oac=1&_nkw=floppy
Unfortunately it didn't work with my Technics Kn2000
Thanks for sharing, I think the KN2000 has a 26pin drive so you have to use an adapter with it.

Thant means two things:
1. You are not running Windows XP, or Windows 7 but Windows 8 or 10 the software only runs on windows 8 if you choose the option of " Run in Windows 7 Compatibility mode.
2. You need to right click on the software icon and choose the option " Run As Administrator "
