Best of both worlds?
« on: November 16, 2024, 09:04:29 PM »
Hey guys! First post here.

Just got a hold of my old amiga 500 :)

Thinking about to replace my internal drive for a gotek. My question is now this, will I still be able to put my old discs thru my external drive?

I mean I dont want to remove the old school feeling of loading up a good game thru discs.. Not only thru the gotek.


Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, and great you still have your A500.

Amigakit does a boot selector switch which should work for you. I don't have one myself.
