DIY:Floppy Drives

123 bytes added, 14:58, 5 August 2011
I have recently received a CPC6128 and had the problems to connect 2x3,5" drives to the CPC (internally and externally). The main problem was, that i've could not find detailed informations about the wireing and the signals (even here on CPCWIKI.EU) This is my contribution to this issue. I will add the wireing for the DDI-1 soon.
