A500 add miniADF and keep internal floppy?

Calab · 30 July 2022, 04:54

I have a rev 6a Amiga 500 that I would like to add a MiniADF to, while keeping the internal floppy drive as well.

It would be nice to be able to switch DF0: and DF1: between the MiniADF and the real floppy drive, but if I can't do that, I would like the MiniADF as DF0: and the internal floppy as DF1:

This is the MiniADF that I have: https://ultimatemister.com/product/amiga-miniadf/

Is this possible? How would I go about doing this?

Alternately. Is it possible to install both and switch between them ad DF0: ?

It seems like the Gotek, isn't it?

I'm currently using a modded PC floppy drive as DF0 and a Gotek as DF1, also i have an ACA500+ that allows me to boot from DF1, but then DF0 gets disabled because DF1 gets recognized as DF0, i suppose, so, maybe there is no way to swap them without changing connections

You can switch external/internal drive between DF0 and DF1 using this - https://sordan.ie/product/530/boot-s...el1-amiga-500/

For a fully internal solution, the MicroGotek has all this built in (you plug your original drive into it) - http://eightbitclone.com/pub_en.php?id=27 - I'm not sure where to find one though
