a1200 / a600 searching for floppy drive..can I bypass this?

have a look at aminet, i'm sure this hack is there. it will tell you what diode (probably any 'ordinary') and which pins.

floppy power has +5 and +12 volts, be careful not to 'overload it' by taking too much current. don't try to get 7Volts (12-5), you might damage something.

you need some 'DC to DC converter' to get other voltages.

murple, but those programs probably won't work on cold boot (the most important one) unless they modify the RDB (probably unlikely)
