Title: 3.5" drives Post by: ali_g12 on November 18, 2009, 02:35:02 AM This link was posted by an eiiiforum user:
http://www.pitsch.de/stuff/amiga/floppy.htm#A4 I was wondering whether anyone has tried any of these drives with successful results? Please make some recommendations based on experience. Does anyone know what drive route66studios provide with their kit? I would also like to know whether an adapter ribbon cable is needed or is the ribbon cable to the original 5.25" floppy compatible???

I am a tech! So it was easy for me to do! i used the Teac 3.5 drive And i did this on my e11 and for a customer of mine and it worked flawlessly! I also put in a switch to toggle between drives 1 and 2 so i can copy both ways! I used a cheep drive bay that i had lying around! its gray but i didn't much care! you can get black ones! also be sure the power is correct! some bays come with a plug that can have the power reversed! It can damage a drive! so Caution! and you need a ribbon cable that is standard on old PC's with the 5.25 drives or as i did i got a ribbon cable end and crimped it on the existing floppy cable. But the bay from rout66 will be a no brainer and i am sure set up perfectly!

I would like to see if there is one a little cheaper than the one over at route 66 before I but one from them.
