6128 disc not receiving power - what are the alternatives?

[banana]

Someone I know Is selling an Amstrad CPC 6128 with a disc drive that is broken and doesn't receive power. I'm not technically savvy, so I wont try to fix it. Is there an alternative from any other port that I can use an SD card type storage for this? The cheaper the better

Almost all other options: 3in Disk, HxC, Gotek only need 5V so they would work. Alternatively there are a few options such as the M4 which use the expansion port.

Thanks! I'm not sure the 5v to the disk is working though.

Where can I get an M4 from?

Hi.
Send @Duke a pm if you want an M4.


I have one, and they are awesome!

Can it both load and save to SD?

[Animalgril987]

Oh yes, and much more.
