I bought one of these from this chap a while back!
It is well made and does the job. I am planning to shoe-horn it into an external project case and knock up an external lead maybe. |

Looks nice and neat, I could use something like this for a new external floppy drive and Mounty has been honest by saying "Please note that not all ADF files will boot from Df1: as some are programmed to boot from Df0: only."

AFAIR it is easy to make an A500 think the external drive is df0 isn't it? one jumper/solder? |

Tbh I really dont know what use it will be for!
Just for the sake of making an Gotek external as DF1 and then filling it with my old music disks. I can then move the thing around to other amigas. Amiga users are now getting spoilt for choice on methods of moving files around

If not I may just stuff a gotek into an a500. I just read something on the forum about having an gotek and original internal drive in the a500, then with a switch enabling selection of which device becomes df0
