/* HD Floppy Disks on CPC */
But with the Gotek, this is not a problem. You can have as many sectors as you want, and the Gotek will generate the index pulse (simulating the floppy completing a turn) after it has sent them all. So it is essentially emulating a floppy that turns very slowly. The FDC has no problems handling that, but you may need to be a bit more relaxed than usual with the timeouts, as it will be some time before the sector you need will pass in front of the drive head, and the index pulse will also be slower than usual.
On a Gotek drive, you can even simulate some fantasy floppy disks with up to 255 cylinders, and the FDC will handle them perfectly fine.
