Hello,
Is this product :
https://www.bigmessowires.com/shop/product/apple-disk-drive-ab-switch/
useable for switching between one of the floppy drives and a (sdcard to floppy emulator) on my Aplle IIe ?
I dont see why not but prefer to ask before buying...
Regards.Philippe
That's a 20 pin connector. If you have a Disk II controller card with two 20 pin connectors you don't need this becasue you can select D1 and D2 with keyboard or software.
If you have a newer style 5.25" disk controller with a DB-19 connector this won't work for you. You can connect the Floppy Emu into the back of your 5.25" drive using the 19-pin connector but it will only be available as drive 2. You may be able to get around some of the limitations of having it as drive 2 by using ProDOS, but if you're trying to run a game it will likely need to be from drive 1.
In that case what you would need is the Daisy Chainer, also available from BMOW: https://www.bigmessowires.com/shop/product/apple-disk-drive-ab-switch/
Hello,
I have 2 floppy drives connected to a Disk II controller.
Usually I work with only both floppy drives.
Sometime I hope to get instead of Disk 2 drive an emulator connected to the computer, leaving Disk 1 normally connected...
And this without dismantle the computer, disconnecting wires, etc etc...
Thanks.
Philippe
