   Continuing with my nostalgic Amiga 1200 Eyetech EZ Tower build journey. In this new video I'm trying to find a way to create a switch between the floppy drive and gotek drive In order to be able to select which to have as DF0.

     I just checked, he seems to have covered switching between DF0, DF1 etc.
     Where as i'm wanting to switch between floppy and gotek but on DF0 only.

     If i'm correct the Amiga (and other retro systems or some older synthesizers with floppy disks) use the 'shugart' standard, which is older. Yeah it works differently to PC floppy standard.
     I'm not familiar with Acorn's Archimedes floppy though, I don't know the system too well.

     Aye. I'm not super familiar with Amigas but the floppy select mechanism seems a bit odd in that regards.

     BBC's Archimedes and PC's seem to works a little differently 🙂
