    Just got my first Gotek today for my Amiga A1200, and a bit of browsing on FlashFloppy brought me here for LCD options. Thanks! This was great! Definately going to get one of these displays

    0.96" OLED can just exactly fit in stock Gotek housing display window:
    1) Separate OLED glass display panel from the circuit board it's attached to by sliding pen knife razor blade between the two with careful, even force to separate & remove the black, spongy adhesive tape layer.
    2)For best fit, sand down the very slightly raised reinforcing lip on inside of Gotek housing bottom, immediately below the display window, where the inner face of housing meets the inner bottom of housing. A Dremel-type tool can help. Sanding this down allows the 0.96" OLED to utilize every millimeter of the display window height.
    3)Rest circuitboard of OLED on housing bottom, and its flexible ribbon connector will be pressed into corner where you just sanded to allow OLED glass display panel to rest flush against inner face of housing; this bending of ribbon connector will NOT damage the ribbon connector! Line up edge of glass OLED panel completely with alignment fin at outermost short side of housing display window, and make sure to simultaneously press bottom edge of glass display panel completely against bottom of Gotek housing (the sanding-down of raised lip in step 2, above, will give you just a drop more downward positioning. While holding firmly and squarely against both fin and housing bottom, use hot glue gun to attach 4 corners of glass display panel against inner face of housing. Use generous amount of glue to hold well.
    4) Attach 4 display wires to OLED circuitboard by either soldering directly to 4 holes on board or else soldering header pins into 4 holes and use wires with Dupont connectors (very slender, rectangular plastic).
    The very topmost pixel line of OLED may only be visible if you view the OLED completely head-on, but the whole vertical 64 pixels should just be visible!

    Wow I didn't realise you could use different sized displays. Particularly as I am thinking of making a 3D printed housing that will sit on the top of the Amiga so having a bigger display is a much better idea. Thanks for showing the options in your video!

    Thanks for the great information in this video. I almost turned it off a couple times because of that horrible music looping in the background.

    The 3D printed faceplate that accommodates the larger OLED and The Amiga 2000's drive bay would be a great item for your eBay store. :) You might even take it a step farther and sell an entire Gotek unit with ALL of these mods! I would buy it in a second.

      I do sell modded Goteks in the factory case in my store. I think I would have to charge too much for the A2000 drive bay version, though.

      Yeah, I saw your them in your store. That's what gave me the idea. :) Too bad on the A2k drive bay. Maybe just a separate offering on this. The demand might be greater than that of your SCSI2SD mount.

    Do you need a separate ff.cfg notepad file for each change, or can you stack them?
    my 1.3" screen has pixels lit up on the RH side, and the bb trackball wont scroll properly.

      @retrofriends  2 года назад

      You can put everything in one file. Your OLED might be bad. Haven't seen that symptom.

      I changed the resolution....seems to have fixed the oled, but the trackball still has issues.

    nice tutorial, but this large oled is only suitable on 5.25" bays. It wont fint on 3.5" bays.

      At the 7:54 mark, I show it in the 3.5" drive bay of an Amiga 2000.

      ​@@retrofriends this is a 3D printed case/mount? A stock gotek will require modification to accommodate the larger displays commonly available.
      Gotek uses a custom board so theirs aren't as tall, from what I can tell.
