ScuzzBlog: Diaries November 2017 Entry 22nd November 2017: Post: 2 I found GOLEM OK so I was a little miffed with the issue of the floppy drive on the PCW9512+ and being the type not to give up I went on the search for a suitable alternative. The problem though was finding a drive that would work with the PCW architecture. The current drive had no power socket and a smaller ribbon connector. It was also the 720KB. The existing drive has no power connector. Very odd First stop is the external drive on the 8256 This drive is a 3.5" of the capacity needed Sadly the ribbon is split to give power to the drive and would not work on the + I have a lot of Amiga floppy drives though suspect that whilst the capacity may work the drive connectors will not. I know for a fact that the conventional drives have a power connector, but what of a floppy drive I dug out some boxes and was pleasantly surprised to find a drive with an LED side display Complete with track display. Amazing The back of the track display unit is switched My goodness the drive is a GOLEM As to what this does I have no idea It looks like a straight pass through with no markings on the unit What it did do was immobilise the drive Back to the task in hand. I wasn't about to break open these units so I dug out another As I suspected this has the wider ribbon the power supply to the side The architecture is completely different Just not going to work. Game over
