Is this any good for the CPC?

Yes.
This Gotek have been flashed with the HxC firmware. First step, you have to copy the Amstrad UDP file on the USB key. Press 2 Gotek buttons at power up for 2 secs. (neat animation on the LCD)
DSK should be the next update...

Hm.... look at Lothareks altenative, ebay is not really cheap.

Lothareks Rev C £57 or £70 in a housing vs. £36 including memory stick for the one I mentioned.

Happy to be advised which is best and why.

Price aside, I am seriously considering this one for the Plus:

it seems like a perfect match with the color and the style of the machine.

Holy crap! He got the prices up!

The good news is that I will pay in pounds and it will be "cheaper" because of this. Anyway, it is quite expensive, although you only spend the money once . Apparently, the most expensive one is this revision F with metallic case.
