My Gotek unit came with a selection of titles in +3 .dsk format. Most of these titles were released and tested on the same original machine, so there's no surprise in that the software runs well on the +3, but the Gotek floppy emulation working flawlessly is a little miracle.

I don't have a lot of affection for the Amstrad models, but the +3 has the merit of being the only Spectrum model that came standard with a minimally half decent storage system, without need of the Interface 1, or much else. The Gotek is a little luxury on top of the existing hardware and firmware.
