Data ribbon cable and adapter to enable the plugging in for an external Gotek/OpenFlops usb floppy disk emulator drive in the rear disk drive port of A500* / A500+ / A600 / A1200 / A2000 / A4000 Commodore Amiga computers.

Power for your Gotek/OpenFlops drive is also provided by this cable and adapter.

NO GOTEK/OPENFLOPS USB DRIVE OR USB STICK IS PROVIDED - PHOTOS ARE TO SHOW USAGE. THIS LISTING IS JUST FOR THE CABLE ADAPTER.

Great for adding an External USB Gotek/OpenFlops floppy disk emulator drive to your Amiga as a second drive so you can backup your floppies or boot from USB (as it is external it is a nice non-destructive upgrade to your Amiga and means you can keep your original existing floppy disk drive too!)

Works with Amiga 500 (see below note) / 500+ / 600 / 1200 / 2000 / 4000 etc using 23pin external Amiga Disk Drive port for power and data connection to drive. This means there is just a single neat ribbon cable with plug on the end.

This cable "just works" plug and play on most Amiga models and you can hold down two mouse buttons at boot to choose the drive to boot from, except for Amiga 500... This does also works with Amiga 500 but you'll need a boot selector to convert SEL0 and SEL1 signals to make your DF1 bootable. (Gotek Drive will be recognised as second Floppy Drive DF1 when connected to the Disk Drive port and will be recognised as DF2 or DF3 when it is connected to another external floppy drive.)

These are tested on an Amiga 4000 and Amiga 600 before despatch, which you can see in the photos. The only minor thing you'll need to do to connect the cable adapter is remove one port lug screw from your external floppy port - the cable uses uses a more modern plug which only fits your Amiga once the lug (or securing nut) has been removed from one side of your external drive port. (See photos showing this).

EXTRA UPGRADE OPTIONS - WE ALSO OFFER GOTEK/OPENFLOPS DRIVES, CASES, ENCLOSURES, OLED DISPLAY, ROTARY ENCODER, FLOPPY SPEAKER SOUNDS AND MORE. PLEASE SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW OR USE THE SEARCH.

Note: Booting directly from a Gotek/OpenFlops external floppy with your Amiga will depend on the games or software used, some are hardcoded to only run from DF0:. This has been tested in Workbench too as a 2nd drive and shows up as DF1: / DF2: etc no problem. Also can be used with applications like X-copy to backup floppy disks to usb or vice versa!
