nitengotek (using a Nintendo Famicom as an enclosure for gotek)

[salvogendut]

Hey everyone, I just finished working on this little project. A few months ago I found a Nintendo Famicom Disk drive in Japan which was sold as non working for about 4000 yen and I could not stop myself from buying it. It looked so cool I had to do something with it. After a little fidgeting and playing with volumes inside the enclosure I managed to get it all together and here it is as drive B on my CPC6128

Just realized I posted this on Technical Support. Feel free to remove, admins!

Actually I do have something to ask for support. Is there any way to configure one of the leds to be used for the drive activity? This gotek had 2 leds, one red and one green. I rerouted the red one to the Famicom case ( there was one already from the Famicom itself so I hijacked the gotek to use that). In short, is there some config file to tell the gotek to use one of the two leds for drive activity?

some gotek weirdness. I use the external gotek as drive B and when there is disk access the light does not flash on it, but it does flash on the internal gotek (drive A). Whereas if I use the drive A the activity light flashes on both. Is this something that has to do with goteks or is it expected as both are connected to the same floppy disk controller?
