Hello. Well, you have the same result with that way, and also you can use hd disks. That was the last try I was doing, but I have burn my last floppy drive. ;-), now, I can´t do more experiments. My last hack works fine, I´ll let it go a few years.
In what way did you modify it except for rerouting some of the signals? If the diskdrive had a "disk ready"-signal output from the controller chip, you don't have to make any mods other than rerouting some signals and modding the high density switch. But it looks like you tapped in on a lot of pins on the drive?
Why didn't your PC diskdrive recognize the disk swaps? All PC diskdrives have the "change disk" wired to pin 34. Just rewire it to pin 2 and disk swapping will work. (Amiga uses pin 2 for the "disk change"-signal.)
