Amiga External Floppy Drive Interface - NEW version ! Compatible with PC and Amiga Drives !!

[botialoach]

Adapter arrived Friday, Thank you.

I have tested the adapter on my Amiga2000HD with a DF0 internal floppy drive, the external floppy PC drive I have connected shows up as DF2 even thought the Jumper is on DF1, and works without a problem.

Any ideas why the Drive shows as DF2?

@botialoach: if you are using a cable with two FDD positions, please try to use the position before the cable twist.
Also please check the jumper setting on the FDD itself, it could be configured as a slave device.

Update: also please check the same wiring for the internal drive

On the Amiga 2000 (and 3000) the first external drive is always DF2:, DF1: is reserved for the second internal drive. You can't change this without hacking the mainboard I'm afraid.

I have tested the external drive with my Amiga 500 and the DF1 works, you are right about the Amiga 2000, that DF1 is reserved for 2nd internal
drive. Thank all for your support

Hi tony1999it,
I was interested in 2 units (can you confirm it works with A600 and A1200? I suppose it should work...it's for a PC floppie and a Gotek Unit).
It will be to Spain, can you adjust price for these 2 units with signed-for mail?

 

[tony1999it]

Hi,
yes working on 600 and 1200 models also.
PM ongoing

Hi, can it work with 5.25 PC drive ?

 

[tony1999it]

Hi
this is to interface 3.5 drives to Amiga. I don't know if Amiga is able to handle also 5.25 units.

 

[BLTCON0]

It can but the drive must properly identify itself (via the MTR/RDY Amiga ID sequence) as a 48 TPI 5.25" drive.
Also the diskchange command must be used, as automatic disk detection is generally not supported with 5.25" units.
