[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] AT Bridgeboard and an "Amiga" external floppy drive?

guy@ns.network.com (Guy D'Andrea) (04/05/91)

Ok, sorry to post this again but I received some info that seems as though I 
did not state the problem clearly enough.  I got suggestions on how I can take
a IBM type floppy drive and then get a standard "dual floppy" drive cable to
plug everything into. 
 
What I want is a way to take my external Amiga floppy drive (which has a 23 pin
D-type connector on it's cable) which is plugged 
into the external floppy drive connector on the Amiga, and be able to connect
it to the AT Bridgeboard.  I do not want to make any kind of modification to
the drive itself since that would void it's warrenty.   I thought people under-
stould that I want the same ability that I had when I used my 2088 (XT) Bridge-
board.  

Basically I need to know what pins numbers on the AT Bridgeboard's
floppy drive connector would need to be run to a 23 pin connector on 
an Amiga's external floppy drive... 

This way when I need the 3.5" floppy drive on the Bridgeboard I 
just plug it in to this special connector.  And when I want to use it on the
Amiga side I plug it on there instead - Just like when I used the 2088 Bridge-
board.
 
I hope this was a bit clearer on what I seek to do.  I'm sure it is possible.  
If I do here how to do this from someone, I WILL post it!  Thanks!!!
