Connecting internal 34pin floppy drive to external 23pin port
« on: January 25, 2018, 08:44:47 PM »
I made a cable like this to connect an internal floppy drive to the A2000's external port but it didn't work :confused:

Don't you need to do some funky stuff for the drive id so that the disk is detected?


Would you explain more? :confused:

I have many converted PC floppy drives for my A2000 (DS0/DS1) that are working as internal without any problem.
I wish to have two more as external drive to reach four to use all in XCopy.
