4 X Floppy Drive Support on Internal Connector?

[AndrewBell]

I know that 2 internal drives is possible by using an appropriate cable, but I've never heard of 4.

Thanks for the responses guys - really appreciated!

@ doctorq - thanks for the link.  A second drive on the internal connector would be a really neat solution (and all I need really) and I'm now wondering if a DIY hack can be done based on the one in the link.  I'll investigate further.....

I think I have one of those cables somewhere, it's yours if you want it.

The floppy cable I have isn't the one with the PCB connected. It has 3 floppy connectors, and wires 10-16 are crossed over between the last 2 connectors. I can't be certain, but I seem to remember it being supplied with my Micronik HD floppy, which has a jumper on the drive to select between DF0 and DF1.

I did a quick test, and the drive sort of works on this cable. I say sort of, because I think the drive has to be set to DF1. To do that I would need to dismantle the drive, so it's staying as DF0.

Uhh.. Isn?t that what a regular floppy cable looks like?

No idea, I've never seen any other Amiga cable for 2 floppy drives.
