Atari ST/STE/STFM Universal Floppy Disk Drive adapter or Gotek with14 Pin DIN original (Combo edition)
I wanted to make a DIN14 to IDC34 adapter different from those that can be found online, but above all universal and with the possibility of also mounting a professional straight/angled IDC34pin connector gold plated with ejector: therefore here is my "Combo version"
PRICE:
29€ --> (with IDC34 standard version)
36€ --> (with IDC34 professional version straight or angle gold plated with ejector..ask me for the version that you want)
USB adapter cable (approx. 1.5m) not included but I can do it for 10€

- You can use this external floppy drive adapter for the Atari ST/STFM/STE. This has been also designed around the SD4ST hard drive and is offset so they can both be plugged in at the same time (with standard IDC34)
- This will show up as drive B on the GEM desktop. Please note that there needs to be an internal drive in the ST for it to allow drive B to work (at least in the ones I've tried, although they are all various iterations of STFM so the STE may be different). It doesn't look like it has to work, it just has to be there and hooked up. Please note this'll work fine with the original ST/M but you won't be able to use an SD4ST at the same time because of the layout on the rear. For the original ST/M with no internal drive it'll show up as A and will be bootable.
- As above I've tried this with a Gotek and it works fine as expected. I've also tried it with a regular floppy drive that was nabbed out of an external drive and that loads disks fine. So as long as it doesn't need +12V it'll work fine with the adapter.
- There is also a jumper to invert the floppy ID numbers (ID0/ID1) so you can switch their position to use unmodified PC floppy drives easily!
- Please note that I'm using original 14 pin core for the best for a certain and safe contact with the Atari port!
