Gotek in the A600.

Didn't want to cut up the original case so I chopped up the gotek shell, removing the hump and reusing the shell pieces (as spacers - only where the normal floppy would bolt to case as the gotek is thinner) and making a new bracket you can get the drive to sit as close as i believe is possible to the floppy drive opening.

Lowering the display a bit makes it very easy to see as well.

As a bonus the floppy drive eject button hole, is the exact width for a 7 pin connector (with the drive spaced correctly it fits perfectly under the gotek) so with a little bit of wiring, I can now flash the gotek without having to open the case.
