I've never used a Gotek before but what equipment would I need for a 6128?

I'd like an external drive but where's the best place to get one (I've seen some on Amazon yet I'm not sure if any would be suitable).

And exactly which cable is needed, which adapter and what, in essence, needs to be done to get it all up and running?

Hope someone can help! Would it be the same process for a PCW 8256?

I recently bought one of these, External Gotek and made up my own ribbon cable.

But some software expects to run from Drive A, the internal drive, where the external drive is Drive B.

See this thread A-B Switch.

I also have purchased these, Internal Gotek

Ikonsgr sells a cable https://retroworkbench.blogspot.com/p/35-diskgotekhxc-drive-cables-power.html with which you can attach a Gotek externally, and also choose if its gonna be the A or B drive. He's in this forum too.

how did you go with it and does it have the model number on it?

I assume you mean the External Gotek. To be honest I have not used it much yet. I bought it for a future CPC 464 Plus conversion to a 6128 Plus standard. I have tested it as a B drive on my CPC 6128 and it works fine. The Model is SFRKC30.AT4.35. It looks well made, the case is good. It has a 0.96" OLED and FlashFloppy version 3.42.
