Hi there!
I have 4 PC Floppy Disk Drives I did convert in order to use on any Amiga or external Floppy Disk enclosures (upon some "case adjustments").
As visible in the pictures two of them are NEC FD1231H (with beige front panel), one is an ALPS DF354H (with black front panel) and the last one is a PANASONIC JU-256A198PC (with black front panel).
They have been modified following the well known guides you can find on the Internet and do work perfectly with the vast majority of games and programs.
All drives have been thoroughly tested not only with amigatestkit and x-copy but also with the "most difficult to load" games (like Battle Squadron, Necronom, Last battle, kid Chaos and Xenon 2) and demos (like Enigma, Arte, Exile and above all State of the Art) I'm aware of. As you can see from the results of my tests, except for the Panasonic, they were able to read perfectly almost all the above mentioned games. This doesn't mean that the Panasonic is "defective" but it means that it is "picky" with games that need a precise ready signal or do have "difficult jumps" from a track to another one and so on.
Keep in mind that, despite someone states that the converted PC drives they sell are 100% Amiga compatible, after having done many tests with several PC floppy disk drives of different make and model, with good knowledge I can say that a PC converted drive will never be exactly like an original Amiga Floppy Disk Drive but, as I've already stated, these drives should work fine with the vast majority of games.
Here the pictures:
Some extra photos upon request:
The request for each single drive, at your choice is, 18 euros however in order to save time making a single parcel I really would like to sell all of them together for 50 euros (just 12.50 euros each drive!).
Shipping to Italy should be about 10 euros and shipping within Europe should be about 20 euros but I'll be able to give you the actual quote once I have your shipping address so if you are interested, please, give me your city and Zip Code when you contact me by PM.
Shipping is always tracked and signed for.
Payment by paypal as gift, revolut or by Bank Transfer (IBAN)
Items for sale elsewhere as well. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks for reading.
