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.
1) # 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. 2) # 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. 3) # 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 just connect the cable to the outer most part of the connector. 4) # make a small bridge on the backside of the GOTEK PCB between pin 8 and 10. 5) # optionally: cut the trace on the PCB next to pin 10. Alternatively remember to NEVER close S0 on the GOTEK (or cut the S0 pins).5) # 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.
