Dear all:

Recently I've purchased a DX9 HD DELL floppy drive from ebay. Please see the bid:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150375277206&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_1182

Now I'm trying to connect it to my amiga 1200, but the cable connections are different.

Anyone knows where I can find the proper cable or there is some known mod needed?

Thanks!
Regards!

Please look at this link:

And I've heard a couple of amiga users that they have one connected.

Did you see the link to the file DX9?

The floppy drive I've purchased is that Dell Model, that is DX9

That is a old review about using those drive with an amiga. It doesnt mention anything about the cable.

Do you some reference where I can find the mod required?
Moreover, do you know where I can find the required cable?

Thanks

The cable used in those picture is not the same as the cable that comes with the floppy disk drive. Maybe it is a easy mod?

I've found more info:
