OK, after mucking around with it, flipping the cable, moving the jumper back and forth, it finally came good. Really not sure what was the actual problem as I';m pretty sure it was already on S0, so might have been the cable... Maybe.
Anyway... Now for the really dumb question... I've only run a disk Microbee in the Windows emulator. And what I do there (and it's probably the wrong way to go about things) is I copy the disk I want to run into the disks folder and rename it to "boot.dsk" for it to run that disk.
Is that what I have to do with the Gotek Floppy thing as well? Because I tried just loading a USB with a bunch of disks, I can rotate the little knob around to select which disk I want... And then start up the Bee aaaand... Nothing. I expected it to boot the disk I had selected, similar to how it does in the Windows emulator.
I just know I'm missing the very basics of how the disk Bee works... Hence why the school only had the ROM versions.
If anyone can point me to the right manual to read, I'm happy to start from there.
