The cheapest and easiest way
For externally connect a Gotek USB Floppy Drive Emulator
on ANY AMIGA 500/600/1200/CDTV!
(notes: Jumper on the back of gotek drive, must be on 'S0' position
For Escom A1200, which use PC drives, you need a jumper on JC, or "interface = ibmpc" in FF.CFG)
No reason for paying much more expensive products
To do EXACTLY THE SAME THING!
The external connected gotek drive is bootable on AMIGA 500+,600,1200
by choosing it through boot menu (press both mouse buttons on startup)
BUT, even if you have an AMIGA 500 with 1.3 Rom Kickstart
(which normally doesn't support booting from external drives)
there is NO reason of braking amiga's case
or pay much more expensive adapters
to fit gotek drive internally!
You can:
- Permenant convert external DF1 to Bootable DF0, by following the very easy and simple procedure i describe on ebay's listing photos!
OR
To have either internal or external drive as bootable DF0,
by using a switch!
Gotek Drive is recognised as 2nd (DF1:) drive if it's directly connected to amiga,
and as 3rd (DF2:) or 4th (DF3:) drive, if it's chained connected to external drive(s)
(if you apply the hack on Amiga 500 Gotek will recognized as DF0:)
Fully tested using an Amiga 500 with 1.3 Kickstart and Amiga 600 with 2.04 Kickstart!
Notes: - If you have problems with gotek drive not recognized properly or images don't seem to work ok, try adding interface = amiga to FF.CFG
- The cable might work with other floppy emulators too (for example HxC floppy Emu) but i can't guarantee it will do so.- As the needed 23pin D connector is difficult to find and rather expensive,i use a cut 25pin D connector instead. No need to worry about that, as it will plug perfectly like a real 23pin D connector!
