English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Gotek floppy external drive adaptor

For the Gotek as internal DF0 - make sure it is jumpered for S0. And make sure you get the 5V/12V power orientation correct, otherwise you will fry your gotek.

What firmware are you using for the Gotek? Is it already working as expected?

The external enclosure floppy drive shouldn't need any changes as it should be already wired for DF1.

For the Chinon drive as DF1 connected to the adapter, the adapter needs to be set to AM and for DF1. The Chinon drive itself should already be jumpered for S0, but you shouldn't have to change - as that is what the jumper on the adapter is for. I also assume the adapter is providing both 5V and 12V too. However, I have not used this adapter so I am just guessing.
