@X-ray:

I use DF1 since it is available on external floppy connector, but I don't see why it cannot be DF2 or even DF3 :) It is a matter of soldering to the right pin.


The DF1: pin on "small" Amigas (A500, A600 & A1200) is the same as the DF2: pin on "Big-Box" Amigas. So no worries.

BTW, can big Amigas be booted from floppy other than DF0?


Depends in the Kickstart AFAIK.

Personal experience:

Kick 1.3 in A500 & A2000 : Boots only from DF0
Kick 3.x in A1200 & A4000: Boots from any floppy drive (but DF1-DF3 have rather low boot priorities, usually lower than any harddrives. But you can ofcourse select any boot device in the early startup menu).
