Urządzenie nie wymaga wprowadzania żadnych "nieodwracalnych" zmian w komputerze
Uchylona obudowa i kabelki na zewnątrz?

Tytuł jak i sam tekst nieco błędnie sugeruje (sądząc po komentarzach pod nim) możliwość zmieszczenia dwóch STACJI DYSKIETEK w obudowie A500. Autorowi projektu chodziło o włożenie Goteka (czyli emulatora stacji dysków) i zostawienie przy tym fizycznego napędu 3,5" (i pisze o tym na samym początku):

I have recently acquired an Amiga 500 and wanted to expand its capability by adding a Gotek drive
but didn't want to lose the internal floppy drive.

Amiga 500 6A Dual Internal Floppy Drive Interface
N.B. I have only tested that this board works with an Issue 6A motherboard
Interface PCB Interface PCB
I have recently acquired an Amiga 500 and wanted to expand its capability by adding a Gotek drive but didn't want to lose the internal floppy drive. I soon came across some of the restrictions of the A500 design which basically meant that if you have the Gotek as the primary, bootable drive the internal floppy drive (df1) wouldn't work. I could have course have gone down the external floppy route but I didn't want all that stuff hanging out the back of the Amiga.
So I started this project with these objectives:
To support two floppy drives internally to the A500
To be able to switch which one is bootable
For the second drive to always be available
Not to require any irreversible change to the A500
Not to have any connections out to the external drive port
There are a number of issues to overcome to achieve these objectives:
All of the needed signals need to be picked up from the motherboard
A motor control signal has to be generated for the second drive
A drive identification has to be generated for the second drive
Some means of switching between the drives needs to be devised
