Erm whats so special about just two internal floppys on the internal port. Every A2000/ A3000(T) / A4000(T) has the appropriate cable to connect two internal drives you just have to jumper the second one to DF1 that`s it. I don`t see why this should not be possible for an A600 / A1200 as all Amigas should be the same when it comes to that.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Huh? What jumper (Re A1200)?

EDIT: Two internal floppies shouldn't be too much of a problem, the issues start when you want to use PC floppy drives and have DF2 or 3 internal as well (This needs lines picked from some of the IC's).

Apart from that, mounting them is a issue!

@Lemmink

The problem is that on A500/600/1200 the 2nd drive select goes to the external port, not the internal cable like in big box Amigas.
