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...

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.

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.
