Amigaworld.net News   Amigaworld.net News : Switchless DF0: / DF1: Floppy Drive Boot Selector A500 / A2000 from AmigaKit.com

Switchless DF0: / DF1: Floppy Drive Boot Selector A500 / A2000

Hold down reset keys (Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga) for 5 seconds to enable the external floppy disk drive (DF1:) as the boot device. The DF1: device drive is then used as if it were the internal DF0: drive and the internal drive is disabled. Switching back by holding down reset for another 5 seconds restores the internal drive as the DF0: boot device and the external disk drive as DF1:

Everytime the drives are switched by holding down the reset keys, an audible beep tone is made by the selector.

Curious how it works out when kickstart switcher, ram expansion/cpu board, and this thing… all use the same method for switching. Hold five seconds and it boots to a new kickstart, different cpu, different ram config, and external DF0: :)
