²: Original cables from Amstrad/Schneider had blue wires to mark pin 1 (which is pin 34 in Shugart standard).<br>
³: Although it might look like it, /RDY and /DSKCHG are not compatible. The CPC expects the drive to become ready (=0) by itself, while the DSKCHG signal stays high until confirmation through the PC, so the drive will never become RDY.
Except for the hint in note 3, a PC floppy can be directly operated on this connector, as long as you keep attention to the fact that the red wire of a PC floppy cable which is unchanged on the floppy side belongs on pin 34 of the CPC connector.
Some drives can be jumpered to output the desired /RDY signal, some can at least be soldered. Others can be operated by "tuning" the cable.
See [[3 1/2" & 5 1/4" Disk Drives]] for more detailed instructions, incl. Side Switch.
