![]() ![]() The ACA630 accelerator in the Amiga 600 allows me to reconfigure the floppy drive assigns so that DF1 is actually DF0 in hardware, which bypasses this problem above! However, many games expect to be DF0 and will not work in this configuration, limiting it's usefulness. This would avoid hacking up the original case. I should mention I have seen an external floppy drive mounting kit which I assume means the Gotek can be made to boot from the external drive if you run an Amiga with Workbench 3.0+ ROMS. Perhaps on an Amiga 500 it does line up better. The attraction of the Gotek over the HxC is that I was hoping not to have to modify the case. The biggest problem for me is that although it is designed to mount into the floppy drive space on the Amiga, the external interfaces on it do not line up on the Amiga 600, requiring you to alter the case to make it fit - this was disappointing as I am not keen to do this. I think this device is really intended to 100% replace an Amiga floppy drive on an unexpanded Amiga 500/600/1200. It does work well, but unfortunately it doesn't suit my needs really. You can press down both buttons on the Gotek to quickly change the display to 000 to boot the SELECTOR.ADF again. ![]()
