Guide on how to connect a 3.5" drive to a CPC6128/664

64 bytes removed, 12:24, 5 January 2016
This guide is for people who own CPCs 664/6128 with 34 pin EDGE connector type interfaces (sold e.g. in the UK and DK).
For another guide, check [[http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Guide_on_how_to_connect_a_3.5]].
A 36-pin Centronics connector is used by the German CPC 6128 (classic) and with a dangerously different pinout also by the CPC6128plus, each needing different kinds of cables, cf. [[DIY:Floppy_Drives#Multi-Adaptor_Cable_for_External_Floppies_.2F_HxC_emulator|DIY:Floppy Drives: Multi-Adaptor Cable for External Floppies & HxC emulator]].
== What you need (minimum requirements)==
- a pc 3.5" floppy drive: For usable models see [[Drive_Compatibility]], [[Modify_PC_floppy_drives]] and [[http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Adding_3.5%22_drive_to_CPC464]].
- a old style pc floppy cable
- a paperclip or a small piece of wire
