Amiga Floppy Drive conversion.

[CraigsBar]

I have just completed a conversion of an Amiga floppy drive to use on a Cpc. Here's the photos. Sorry it looks a bit ropey but the drive was quite battered to start with.

The mod removed the Amiga cabling, fitted a side switch and added another 34 pin header so it's a straight plug in swap for the hxc.

Fortunately the hole left after the Amiga rope cable was removed nicely houses a power socket and the side switch. The daisy chain socket was then extended to accommodate the 34 pin connector for the Cpc. Inside the case is a short (about 2 inch long) piece of ribbon cable split out with the side switch.  I'll patchup the metalwork and repaint it next.

Well it looks nice beat up like that, a true veteran

It works perfectly. So the need to repaint it is lessening I do prefer the 2nd one I modded (Although that started as a Microstyle SuperDrive) as this has some better workings on the 34way port, and I found some better bolts to hold the connector etc.
