boot selector for a1200

Hi all I have an external floppy and a Gotek, I want to use external for gotek as i dont want to damage case on my 1200. I've read about teh CIA chips on Amiga A1200, and also seen a few boot selector's, I want to make it so i can switch between gotek & floppy as DF0:. Any help would be very gratefull. Thank you

Also, there are plenty of Gotek install options that don't require any case modifications.

The most elegant, IMO, is the GoEx. But good luck finding one.

mate the op is asking about having a gotek AND a floppy drive at the same time and choose which one to boot from you cannot do that with a goex
