pc drive mod for a500+

[quin]

hi can anybody point me in the right direction for adapting a pc floppy drive for the amiga 500+ as mine has died the 2 drives i have spare are:

an EPSON SMD-1300 dated 10/04/1995

and an ALPS ELECTRIC CO., LTD. DF354H071C which i think came out of a tiny pc around 2000

hope one of these is suitable to be modified

neither of mine come up on the list but there is a small switch or something inside the epson, so will tinker with thatm i wont do any harm to the amiga from plugging in and trying it will i?

shall take the alps apart tommorow

Maybe 'stedy' can help you: http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/designs/Floppy_Adaptor/floppy_adaptor.html

Sold out at the moment, though perhaps something to look forward to. You could use his schematics and make your own .

The Pc drives he has listed are about 15UKP on Ebay too.

Ask ElPiloto, right on this site. You can use almost any off-the-shelf drive for Amiga conversion.
