Gotek + real floppy drive in PCW8512

[Guibrush]

Hi, I'm trying to install a Gotek with Flashfloppy firmware + the real original floppy drive in my PCW8512. The gotek work well as drive A when he is alone on the cable. Now come the tricky part: at the beginning, I wanted to use the original drive as B: drive, and eventually found that it is not possible, at last not without patching CP/M. Now I just cam on a Ebay sale where the seller tell that he was able to have the real drive and the gotek working at the same time, with a switch permitting to choose which drive will boot at power on. I'm searching for some howto since hours, but can't find anything. Did Someone know how to achieve this? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your reply. I already have a similar adapter, and my gotek work fine when I put it instead the drive A. My question is more how to be able to switch between the gotek and the drive A, as described in the Bay auction. Apparently, there is a switch that toggle the real drive A and the gotek before booting, but I can't figure how.

I had to deal with S0 or S1 to get my Gotek as Drive A on CPC. Maybe this could help.

maybe the mechanical switch play with this settings, can good be.
