Hi
When I bought HxC i put it inside my A500+ to work as DF0, then i make external real DF1 drive connected to the rear DB23 connector.
Now i just wonder. It is possible to have HxC as DF0 and real floppy drive as DF1 both connected with single cable to internal A500 floppy connector ?
I know that with two real floppy drives this is impossible but what about HxC ?
Conecting HxC and floppy drive with one cable.

This is possible to have 2 internals drives. just use DS0 & DS1...BoboPL wrote:Hi

But u mean virtual drives ?Jeff wrote:This is possible to have 2 internals drives. just use DS0 & DS1...BoboPL wrote:Hi

No not only. you can use 2 real disk drive on the internal floppy connector on A500.BoboPL wrote:But u mean virtual drives ?Jeff wrote:This is possible to have 2 internals drives. just use DS0 & DS1...BoboPL wrote:Hi

Even if there is no MTRX signal on internal connector ?Jeff wrote: No not only. you can use 2 real disk drive on the internal floppy connector on A500.
BTW. I ask about this because i connected second floppy yesterday and it doesn't work
EDIT: HxC as DF1 and floppy drive as DF0 works like a charm, but not the other way. I try all jumpers combinations and still nothing

You need to change the floppy drive jumper to DS1.BoboPL wrote:Even if there is no MTRX signal on internal connector ?Jeff wrote: No not only. you can use 2 real disk drive on the internal floppy connector on A500.

(The MTRX/MTRON is present on the internal connector !)

I've done it beforeJeff wrote: You need to change the floppy drive jumper to DS1.

In this case blame Commodore : Your floppy disk drive don't have the "Amiga ID Disk Drive" circuit !BoboPL wrote:I've done it beforeJeff wrote: You need to change the floppy drive jumper to DS1.
