I think you'd need to change that adapter slightly as the pinout is different on the Amiga.

The Mitsumi 359M3D is relatively easy to convert Ready and DS signal and you can get them cheaply in dark grey:

This Samsung should be an easy conversion too (and it's a 5V device!):

Shame an adaptor for the adaptor lol.

Or just get a black drive that's convertable?

A convertable in black? That would be it for next Spring  ;)

New addition today:


Side select switch. I only have so many floppies after all ;)



Back of switch. Even busted out the shrink tube kit for this!



Inside the enclosure. Clamped another floppy drive connector on the cable in there, and soldered pins on the end of the switch cables. Makes it real easy to assemble and disassemble.
