And lastly an adapter pcb: https://rastport.com/products/KA47/

The floppy signal is listed as MTR0 on that page. Note that the gotek doesn't use the motor signal so you don't need to switch this over to the gotek you only need to disconnect it from the floppy drive when switched over

No worries, thanks for the video! Now I can see the issue and understand what is going on. The adapter seems the best solution but it cost 35 dollars, and I am not really planning to get it at that price to be honest, so I will probably go for the resistor fix or the mosfet, considering the cost involved.



Thanks for the info on the floppy signal; so I can just disconnect that pin when switching over to the gotek; that should be simple enough! BTW I already have a switch that route the signal to the CS pin to either the gotek or the floppy; can I add the MTR0 signal on the same switch on the same pin, or would that short the circuit? If not I need to buy a switch with 2 poles, so I can connect the 2 signals, even if all I want to do with the second signal is to disconnect it when I use the gotek. Thanks!
