thingiverse

Here is a high-quality replacement for your old Amiga floppy disk drive, featuring an OLED display that slides seamlessly into the original case. This innovative design ensures a perfect fit for your A1200, without requiring any modifications to the case itself. If your push buttons are short enough, this solution will also work for your 600 or A500 models. To get started, you'll need a few essential components: a short USB extension cable, three micro push button switches, some ribbon cable, and basic soldering/wiring skills to connect the OLED display and switches. Don't worry if you're new to DIY electronics; this project is still accessible with some patience and attention to detail. To prepare your floppy drive for the upgrade, carefully cut out the OLED opening and button openings using an X-Acto knife or a similar precision tool. This will help maintain an even layer and uniform appearance when slicing the components into place. Once you've prepared the drive, remove the pin-plug from the OLED display and solder the ribbon cable directly to it. You'll also need to share the ground connection with the switches using a few strategic solder joints. With these simple steps, you can breathe new life into your old Amiga floppy disk drive, enjoying the benefits of an advanced OLED display and convenient USB connectivity without compromising the original design of your beloved A1200, 600, or A500 model.
