Sven, would you mind expanding the PCB for allowing a second drive please?

Hi, How does that work? The same connector on the user port adapter twice? Actually, you could add a third connector on the ribbon cable, that is a box connector. I think, something like this is available.

Hi Sven, SpeedDos Plus had an option to connect 2 drives on the userport https://www.c64-wiki.de/wiki/Datei:SpeedDOS-plus-Anschluss.jpg I don't know if there is somebody out there who can provide a schema of that board. Maybe is there someone who has some code (disk-copier?) that reveals how this works.

Kind regards, Maurice
