Floppy drives on A2000
« on: April 11, 2006, 02:51:50 PM »
I got 2 PC floppy drives (Panasonic JU-257A606) which can be modified to serve as Amiga drives. First drive is already modded and work nicely as DF0: (drive is connected to mobo connectors by flat ribbon cable).

In order to connect the other drive, I use standard PC floppy ribbon cable with 2 3.5" connectors - second one has 3-4 wires inverted. Now, I am not sure if I have to mod second drive as DF1: (DiskSelect 1 on floppy board) or to clone first drive (DiskSelect 0 on floppy board). Maybe those twisted wires on ribbon cable select drive signals so I should make 2nd drive identical to 1st one?

Any experience? Nobody?
Thnx.
