I'm not sure which ribbon cable to use when connecting it to a pc floppy. Do you use the straight IDC cable, or a ribbon cable that has the twist in it you see on some floppy cables?

It's a pity that @tebl does not answer his github issues in time - but we should be glad that he publishes his projects here at all. Thanks tebl! :+1:

( I have another unanswered issue at the Lumafix project. :| )

I found your answer: https://github.com/tebl/Amiga-DrawBridge/blob/main/documentation/drawbridge_firmware.md 1.2> Diagnostics ".. Ensure that the device is connected via USB, physical floppy drive is connected using both power and a straight ribbon cable (no twist) and you should see the COM port as listed. .."
