Amiga 1200 Gotek Control Center case by FerryA1

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Case for a internal Gotek Control Center.
The idea behind this Thing is to maintain the internal floppy drive but, at the same time, be able to use a Gotek as DF0: Many games are hardcoded to the internal disk drive, so even if you load it from the Gotek as external drive, the game looks for data at the internal drive, even if no disk is inserted.
This project has been inspired by:
https://www.ikod.se/amiga-1200-gotek/
With this project, you'll be able to select which drive you want to use as internal drive, as DF0:, you can choose between floppy disk and Gotek, but without having to cut/hole your Amiga 1200 case.
Parts:
-Passive buzzer 12x9'5mm
-2x Tactile switch 6x6x7mm
-3mm 5V LED (I took the one in the Gotek)
-3pin slide toggle Switch 4mm (you will have to bend down the holed sides)
-0.91 inch OLED module, 128x32 chars, 3'3 - 5V (IMPORTANT: the one with GND VCC SCL SDA pins)
-USB 30cm extension cable
-Some Dupont connectors (both male and female) for soldering
For the power and data cable
-3x 4Pin floppy power connector and suitable cable
-3x IDC 2x17 pin dual row 2.54mm connectors
-Some 30cm of 1.27mm/28AWG wire flat ribbon 40 pin cable (you will have to strip 6 lines of the 40, you only need 34 lines for the floppy/gotek data bus, but do it from the NON marked in red side)
A good alternative is to use Dupont line 40P 40cm Female to Female, it comes with Dupont connectors in both sides, even if you will have to cut one side to pass the cables through the Amiga case slots.
Also, you can find all connections for all the parts to the Gotek board in

Of course, all this needs some soldering/unsoldering skills, and to be very patient and careful, so I'm not responsible of any damage you may cause in the proccess: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
