You do not damage your floppy by daisy chaining it.

But when you mess with the straps you could do it.

Take one of the external drives and convert it use internally in your 3000.

As a general rule, which side should the red trace on the floppy cable be on, when connected to a drive?


Red cable of the ribbon must be in the 1st pin of the drive and 1st pin of the FDD controller, logically.

Unfortunately, PIN 1 is not always clearly marked on the sockets of the drives & many Amiga motherboards.


If you look carefully in the MB you'll find a square "dot" where pin 1 is...

Other pins have round dots.... :smack:
