Amiga 500 internal floppy header
Hi all,
Another question for those in the know. Can two floppy drives be connected via a twisted ribbon cable to the header inside a stock A500? Thanks, Ron |

The A500 doesn't generate the required motor or select signals for a second drive. You'll have to make a suitable circuit yourself.
