It occurs to me that the CIA's on the A1200 are mostly likely surface mount, so something like the shuffleboard probably isn't feasible. So a modified floppy cable is probably your best bet. Jope's description is correct as far as I can tell. It is certainly how I would have gone about the process.
DS0 is pin 10, and all odd number pins are GND, so I'll ignore them in the diagram:
2 |:|==========|:|======|:|
4 |:|==========|:|======|:|
6 |:|==========|:|======|:|
8 |:|==========|:|======|:|
10 |:|===A B====|:| C===|:|
...
34 |:|==========|:|======|:|
Find a SPDT switch at your local electronics, or even hardware store. It should be labeled as such. The image you linked is likely such a switch, but read the packaging to be sure.
Connect A in my digram to the pole, normally the center pin. Connect one throw to A, and the other throw B. The switch diagram would look something like:
A ---o
\
o--- B
C ---o
Also, if its a standard FDD cable, with a flip between the connectors. You'll want to undo the flip as this reverses the controls lines for Drive0/Drive1 on the cable. You can open up the header at the end of the cable and undo the flip by hand, but be careful as the its pretty easy to break the header doing this.
Because I'm paranoid, I would check for shorts, n/c wires before using a modified cable. You can look up the cable interface at
