 :picard: i was trying to remove 3" DRIVE cable and i made this!
i think i can connect the pins with soldering. but this will be made from a friend later .
So meanwhile i was trying to connect with 5,25 plug as external drive. any help for correct plug?

Thanks @xesrjb for the link. I am just about to mod my 6128 for a Gotek/HxC and I have now ordered the parts to make power and signal adaptor links so I dont have to alter my 6128's connections.

Thankfully the original Raspberry Pi 1 has a 26-pin header so that seem to be the easiest place to get a male 26 IDC header and it comes with a ribbon cable, just need to remove the female 26 pin and fit a normal 3.5" floppy one.

yes but where i start ? At left or at the right?  :'(

One! In external port.
When i  put |b cat works. When i press |a cat the b start spinning!
I have the same problem when i have 2 drives connected. They work together!!  That why i put put the internal drive cable. See the pictures

The motor on signal is shared amongst all drives. So when you access one, the others spin as well. This is an expected and normal behaviour.

Gerald is correct This is normal behaviour.
