Title: External drive on CPC 6128
Post by: LeNSeN on 06:28, 25 March 25
Hello, I would like to install an external drive on my Amstrad CPC 6128. Can you tell me where I can buy the Gotek + cable + key pack? I'm a bit lost on how to install this external drive. Thx ;)

if you have a spare  3'5 disk drive and a cable you could follow this guide (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Guide_on_how_to_connect_a_3.5%5C"_drive_to_a_CPC6128/664#The_Cable), is fairly easy to do. Otherwise you could try checking online shops, for example Hobbyretro (https://hobbyretro.com/), Mistore (https://www.micomputer.es/es/58-amstrad) or even Aliexpress , even you could try other good alternatives such as floppy emulators such as Ulifac or Usifac by @ikonsgr

Ikonsgr also sells a cable with which you can attach an external FDD to the Amstrad CPC 6128 https://retroworkbench.blogspot.com/p/35-diskgotekhxc-drive-cables-power.html (https://retroworkbench.blogspot.com/p/35-diskgotekhxc-drive-cables-power.html)
