you could put in standard PC floppy and it will work as DD, just swap few wires

(it will work with XFS but NOT with crossdos in case you wished to read PC 720K floppys)
you need one diode for RDY, but its not really *essential*

permanently lit LED usually means the cable is oriented wrong, turn the connector 180 deg.

I've used the same 'swap wires' system on A2000 and on AT A4000T and they both work flawlessly with PC floppies as DD without removing that PCB, still there are some jumpers on PCB, you should check them first
