SDI-1

The SDI-1 turns your +2a/b into a +3.  All +3DOS disk commands (LOAD, SAVE, CAT, etc) will work with the external disk drive as if you were using a +3. Moreover, the startup menu will show "+3" on the left corner.

The interface allows the connection of two 3.5" PC drives using a normal PC floppy flat ribbon cable. The SDI-1 work well with Gotek or HxC emulators too. Aditionally, you can connect a 3" floppy disk drive to read original +3 disks.

The interface features two switches to select the side of the disk (one switch for each drive) and a third switch to force the READY signal (in case the floppy drive does not generate this signal by itself).

Its 100% compatible with all existing +3 software as well as with backup/copy interfaces such as the Multiface +3.

 

Cases are 3D printed and might present imperfections.
