===Replacing the drive in a CPC 664 / 6128 internalor FD-1===

You can also use As connections are slightly different from a 3.5" drive the connections to the GOTEK as need to be modified to replace a replacement for a broken 3" disk drivein the original 664/6128 or FD-1 case. Also, just make sure to set the jumper on as the size of a GOTEK is different from S1 a 3" drive a (usually 3D printed) frame is required to S0hold the GOTEK in place.

As * adapt the GOTEK has a 34pin connector but 26 pin floppy cable of the 3" drives have a 26pin CPC to fit to the 34 pin connector you will also need a on the GOTEK - [[DIY:Floppy_Drives#Adaptor_Cable_for_Internal_Floppies_.2F_HxC_emulator|26 to 34 pin adapter]]* switch 5V and 12V on the power connector as otherwise you would fry your GOTEK with 12V* set the jumper on the GOTEK from S1 to S0. * put the GOTEK into a (3D printed) frame to properly fit into the 3" drive slot ''Note: If you remove the 3" drive from the CPC it no longer needs the 12V power supply. This means you can now use a single 5V power supply to run your CPC, including the MP-1 or CTM640 for the 464.'' ====adapters==== There are prebuilt adapters that can be plugged into the rear of the GOTEK and provide connectors for the 3" connector cables. These can usually be bought on Ebay.  Alternatively DIY adapters can be done easily. '''Make 100% sure that you don't accidentally connect the 12V to the GOTEK as this will definitely fry your GOTEK. '''

PCB versions of this ====Gotek mod==== If you don't plan to use the GOTEK on any other machine than the CPC you can also make a few modifications to the GOTEK directly and can use the original cables without modifications or adapters .  # cut the pin that is labelled as 5V on the GOTEK. Either the whole pin on the side of the drive, so only 3 pins remain or a little more subtle on the backside of the connector so there's a gap between the pin and the PCB. This ensures 12V is no longer fed into the GOTEK. # make a connection from pin 1 to pin 4 of the power connector on the backside of the PCB to connect the GOTEK to the 5V coming from the CPC. # optionally: remove the first 4 pairs of the 34pin connector. Either just cut the pins or desolder them if you have the equipment. This step is not mandatory as you can be directly connected just connect the cable to the outer most part of the connector. # make a small bridge on the backside of the GOTEK are often also sold PCB between pin 8 and 10. # optionally: cut the trace on ethe PCB next to pin 10.gAlternatively remember to NEVER close S0 on the GOTEK (or cut the S0 pins). Ebay# set the jumper on the GOTEK to S1  Now you can connect the original cables directly to the GOTEK as if it was built for the CPC.

You will also need a (3D printed) frame <gallery>gotekmod1.jpg|pins to properly mount the GOTEK in your CPCcutgotekmod2. You can find 3D models on the usual websites, e.g. Thingiverse. Remember to look for the right frame for your CPC model as the 664, 6128 and Plus all require different framesjpg|new connectionsgotekmod3. jpg|cables attached</gallery>
