For what it's worth, take a look at the FlashFloppy firmware for the Gotek:
https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy
Open-source and handles a lot of different formats. Doubtless the RX50,
if not one of them already, could be easily made so.
I've installed it on a couple of Goteks and it seems to work okay--do
consider replacing the 7-segment LED display with a cheap OLED--more
information is displayed.
I have two of them, but haven?t considered using them on a DEC system. Then again, I?ve
barely ever used a floppy on my DEC hardware, and then it was 20+ years ago.
My target is my Amiga 600 and Amiga 1200. I have an old one I picked up at the Portland
Retro Gaming Expo five or so years ago, and a new one that I got from AmigaKit recently.
The AmigaKit one is nice, as I had it upgraded with the OLED and dial. They?re very nice.
I really like being able to use a USB stick, rather than a floppy.
The next computer I?d like to see about converting to flash will probably be an Apple ][e.
My C-64 has used SD cards for year.
