I bought one of these in late 2019, I think. It's neat in that it already has the form factor needed to fit right into an A1200 without needing to do a separate 3D printed bracket, and, the built in dial is nicer than the Gotek's buttons and having to add a rotary encoder, and the speaker is built in versus having to add your own piezo buzzer. It also takes an SD card vs a USB, if I remember right (I think you can add a USB port if you want it?). I haven't messed with it since adding it to the ReAmiga 1200 I built. Other than that, it doesn't have any additional functionality over a modded Gotek. For someone who doesn't like to DIY and such, it is a good solution.
I also modded mine to add the blue pill, per Keir Fraser's FlashFloppy/OSD page on GitHub. It's pretty cool having the OSD, but, it involved soldering leads from the bluepill adapter onto the R/G/B and sync lines on the motherboard of the 1200. I wonder if he has found a solution that doesn't require the soldering?
