Thanks in advance,
See your support ticket. I have explained there.

You connect it to your ATX PSU, then the 2 Pin connector goes to your Power Switch, you then take a floppy connector from the ATX PSU and connect that to your Floppy connector of your A1200 Mobo.
The long blue lead goes out the back and into the small hole (that connects to centre pin of A1200 mobo power socket), to give you the - voltage for your Audio circuit.

Make sure you seat the floppy connector right, or you will kill your mobo.

You can then power your floppy by using another spare floppy connector from your ATX PSU.

but floppy connector of the mother board is an output to power a floppy not an input... Is not it dangerous for mother board?

Not at all. Current can flow both ways, depending on circuit.

Its exactly the same as connecting the floppy cable up.

If you connect it up, then take a picture, I can then tell you if its correct. Just dont turn it on until I see picture.

thanks i will try this evening (not at home now) and post a photo

but in my memory 2 pins of amiga floppy power was swaped compared to the PC cable

indeed i think i had already try to connect amiga floppy on PC power

and I had to connect it upside down and force the keyed (long time ago) and i worked fine so.

I tested your adapter with a standard ATX PSU, no pins on the floppy connector are reversed.

As for Indivision, I can only say what has been said before. The should be a production run next year. Thats all I know.

It states 31Khz, but youe would have to try it. As the amiga outputs 15Khz.

Do you have any modes working at the moment?

But sorry my question was with indivision 1200!!! (i had forgotten a part of the sentence

should I change my LCD monitor with an indivision 1200 to see all the classic amiga screen modes?
