Share Floppy Drives?

Post by Beaps »

Hi All,

I was wondering if there was a way where you could possibly share drives between an internal drive & the HxC?

What I mean is, is there a way say on my Amstrad CPC 6128 that I can fit a switch that swaps the power between my original drive in the machine & the HxC. Also get a ribbon that I could connect to both drives at the same time.

I have loads of original games that I cannot play anymore as it all geared up toward the HxC which is a shame.

Could this be done?

Not with the power supply only.
You need to somehow swap the drive select lines.
