@ vcps: oh, so that's what you mean by 'tried to modify some face plates': you tried to put the A1200 floppy inside?
Okay, so, I ask more specifically now: I want another floppy to act as Df1, and also as a backup in case Df0 fails. What drive can I get that will be bootable? And I want to first try to get a good drive before having to buy "Weasels and Koalas" :-P
