Up for sale is a 50cm long ribbon cable for externally connecting a 3.5" floppy disk drive to your Amstrad CPC+ 6128 computer. No modification is required to the 3.5" floppy drive.

**This cable also works on a USB or an SD HxC floppy emulator without any issues**.

This cable comes with two side micro switches: one for selecting the head of the disk and another for setting the external 3.5" floppy as the primary drive A: which might be necessary for running software from it. By doing so, the Amstrad CPC internal disk drive will be disabled - this is normal since without changes to the mainboard it is impossible to make the internal disk drive act as B:.

I can also provide this version of cable for the Schneider CPC 664/6128, the Amstrad CPC 664/6128, or the Spectrum +3 computers for the same price. Just let me know during checkout if you require another version of this cable than the default of the auction (CPC+).

Note: it is important to flip the "primary/secondary select" switch (left hand side) and set drive B: as "primary" or "secondary" always with the Amstrad CPC powered off (this is for safety reasons and to minimise any potential risk of damage; besides you will need to reset the Amstrad in order to initialise the new drive status). The "head select" switch (right hand side) can be used on-the-fly without any issues.

Please also have a look at my Amstrad CPC power cable which can be used to supply power to the 3.5" floppy directly from the Amstrad CPC monitor (or compatible external PSU).

This ribbon cable is BRAND NEW and fully tested.
