4000T floppy??
« on: August 11, 2006, 08:42:33 PM »
I was told my the local Amiga dealer that Commodore/Amiga, Inc. put PC floppies in the 4000T. At first I thought he was nuts but he showed me the floppy cable from a 4000T and it had a couple of pins crossed in what looked like a hack job. When I finally assembled the 4000T they sold me I saw the SCSI daughter card has a SCSI port as well as a port that can accommodate a PC floppy cable. Is this for a PC floppy cable? Was Tom right?

ESCOM Amiga's had 1.44 MB PC Floppies which were cheaper and worked as 880 kb Amiga Floppy.

So Tom still hasn't lost his edge. :) So is that a PC floppy port on my SCSI daughtercard?

No, its an Amiga Port. ESCOM used modified PC Floppies to get them work on Amiga.
