Hi there!
I have 4 PC Floppy Disk Drives I did convert in order to use on any Amiga 500/500+.
As visible in the pictures they come with a beige eject button that perfectly fits the Amiga 500 case and I also cut the top metal so that the Amiga 500 case doesn't touch the floppy disk drive. I also removed the activity leds.
I did modify the drives following the very well known instructions you can find on the the Net. The last two pictures show respectively an Alps and a Sony Drive after the modification. They should work fine with both DD and HD floppy disks but I haven't tried any HD floppy 'cause I don't have any.
I put the maximum care on them and all drives have been thoroughly tested not only with amigatestkit (they pass all the tests but the software sometimes "recognizes" that the ready signal is oscillating, that's pretty normal on converted PC floppy disk drives) and x-copy but also with the "most difficult to load" games (like Battle Squadron, Necronom, Last battle and Xenon 2) and demos (like Enigma, Arte, Exile and above all State of the Art) I'm aware of.
Keep in mind that obviously they will never be like an original Amiga Floppy Disk Drive but should work with the vast majority of games.
Here the pictures:
The request for each single drive is 30 euros
The request for 2 or more drives is 25 euros each (so 50 euros for a couple, 100 for the entire joblot)
JOBLOT SOLD TO DIABLOV ON 17/07/2024 AND SHIPPED ON 18/07/2024
Shipping to Italy should be about 10 euros and shipping within Europe should be about 18 euros but shipping costs could change buying more than 2 units (I'll give you the actual quote once I have your shipping address).
Shipping is always tracked and signed for.
Payment by paypal as gift or by Bank Transfer (IBAN)
Items for sale elsewhere as well. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks for reading.
