Re: Dual floppy with a regular DF0 and a Gotek (with switch)

I'm kind of wanting to do the same thing in an A2000 (have a Gotek but also have the ability to boot from the real floppy too).
With an A2000, which has provision for two floppy drives internally, would this be any easier?

I'm just thinking, maybe I should just put the Gotek as DF1: (drive 2) and use the early startup menu in KS3.1 to boot from DF1:
That would be just as good as making some hardware switch, no?

Ah, maybe the Gotek as DF0: and the real floppy as DF1: then when I need to boot from a real floppy I'll just use the early startup menu.
I'd have all my floppy games on the Gotek anyway, and only use a real floppy for productivity applications and saving files for transferring to other Amigas.
