DF0: but I took it out temporarily to hook a Chinon 1.76MB floppy drive up for use with my bridgeboard. I don't have the Flipper cable so it's just hooked right up to the floppy port on the card.

My Gotek is on DF1: currently but will move it to DF0: when it's next apart

The other nice thing about the A2630 is that the 4mb of 32-bit onboard RAM is still available in 68000 mode.
