Just bought a second hand A4000, the HD internal disk drive has been replaced with an 880K at some point in its life.
I've tryed to add a second internal floppy using several Amiga internal floppy disc drives and standard PC Floppy Lead, but this does not appear to work.
I know the a2000 supported two floppies of the internal controller as i used to have one. Just cant remember if the cable was a standard PC type floppy cable with the twist in or one with out a twist.
Any advice will be great thanks.

You have to use a non "twisted cable"
And use a real AMIGA-Floppy
My 4000 has two HD-Floppys...

Yeap got it working...
Took the twist out the cable, crimped the connector backon. Had to put a jumper on the motherboard DF1 880K and swap the small jumper on the back of the a1200 floppy drive from 1 to 2.
Once again thankyou :-D :-D

Yeah absolutely correct !
I have only one strange behavior:
When DF0: is active the LED on DF1: is also on !
But it works fine...
