Post by: BSC on 15:29, 09 September 22

So I have this old 5,25" disk drive which I had connected to my 464 via DDI1 interface, see image for the connector.
Now I would like to connect that drive to my 6128 which has this Centronics style connectors.

- What kind of cable do I need to connect?
- Where could I buy one of those?

Interesting question, BSC, I am sure that you'll get some hints in this forum which is almost entirely about hardware.

Did you just talk to yourself???

Either way, I can't help you with psychological issues, but I can tell you that the Centronics to HxC cable is what you need. You can find the connections here too: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:Floppy_Cable.png
