I gave you the Like for putting the MegaFlash in the picture too :)

Didn't mean to, but what the heck, it's always there :D
And... Hiding bills behind your monitor won't make them go away! You have to pay them eventually :D
Nice ABBA switch too by the way :)
Bryce.
Bills go directly to the incinerator. This is a receipt :D
Nice!!! :D I'll try to clone it :D
Looks good Gryzor.
Negative points for not having so many ROMs that the screen has scrolled on boot-up though ;)

I've been loading and off-loading so many ROMs that this is the light stage by now... Only Nyancat stays :D
Yep, this is quite elegant indeed, nice idea, This can give some ideas.
Is this some mundane IDE flat-cable ?
Also : OMG, is dat a Cat ? I love Cats.!!!!
It's a standard Shugart cable, ie: the flat cable used to connect floppy drives in a PC.
Bryce.
Yes it is.
It came as a slight surprise that I don't have to change the pins shorted on the board itself, it works just by flipping the switch; I half-expected it to need to change the pins as well...
Also, I haven't tried changing drives with the machine on. I don't think anything terrible will happen, maybe the machine will get confused... yet it's itching me :D
As long as the CPC isn't accessing a drive at the moment you switch, then there's no problem switching back and forth while the CPC is running.
Bryce.
Yeah, makes sense. For some reason I was thinking in terms of modern computers that occasionally communicate with drives even when you don't specifically use them...
