Philips NMS 8245 Floppy Drive adapter

I wanted to do a experiment to install a standard PC drive with a adapter (34 pins to 14 pins) on a Philips 8245. I would say that it work but i have tried about 20 Floppy Drives and only 1 it works ;-D

    Salve, ho fatto la modifica floppy montando un gotek con firmware hxc. Però funziona solo a singolo lato, formatta unicamente a 360kb. La stessa cosa la fa con un drive reale. Tutte le operazioni, tranne la formattazione, funzionano regolarmente. Ho paura possa essere il controller. Cosa puoi consigliarmi.

    Gran bel blog complimenti :)

    Saluti

    Nice! Have to try this one too. I’m going to use 30cm dupont wires. then no need to solder anything.
