Amiga 500 floppy drive.

Ed,

AFAIK the 2000 drive is physically different than the 500 one. It will work mechanically but you may have to hack up the case on the 500 to make it fit.  What you can do is find a cheap Chinon FZ-357 HD drive and easily adapt it to work on the 500!  I believe it will install in the 500?  Anyone know for sure?  I have one that I recently did the mod on.  Do a search for 'Chinon FZ-357' on here to see my article.

Ed,

The Chinon FZ-357 is an identicle drive to what Commodore used!  This drive is just jumpered differently for use in PCs, all you do is set J2 on PCB, then set the jumpers at the back: DS0, MD, RDY and TTL/C-MOS.

This drive should fit in the 500 perfectly.
