Ok, I just received
Floppy Disk Drive Boot Selector Switch A500
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Floppy-Disk...72.m2749.l2648
1) Once the kit installed, if I connect my
external drive (real floppy drive) it boots fine, but my internal drive (DF0) is disabled! (confirmed by X-Copy, as it only lists just ONE drive)
2) If I connect my
GoTek drive (as
external drive, using
Gotek Floppy External Drive Adapter) it does not boot at all. I even moved the jumper from
S1, back to to
S1 on the GoTek, still no go.

(NOTE: When I use my Gotek Floppy External Drive Adapter (as an external drive), I HAVE to move the jumper from S0 to S1, otherwise my Amiga 500 does not detect it.
So the issues remain:
Why
DF0 is disabled when I use
Floppy Disk Drive Boot Selector Switch A500?
and
Why my GoTek drive does not boot any .ADF files, when used in conjunction with my
Floppy Disk Drive Boot Selector Switch A500?
My ultimate goal was this:
A) Keey my internal floppy drive (Df0) as it is, as I love to boot game/demos off it from a real floppy diskette)
Then:
B) To use GoTek as DF1, be able to *boot* from it, and then copy (write) .ADF files onto my real floppy diskettes.
As you can see, my GoTek has to be connected as DF1, and be bootable in order to accomplish this goal.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
