/* Ready / Disk Changed signal */
*For 3inch floppy drives (pin26), it is a "Ready" signal. The /RDY signal is sent whenever a disk is installed and rotating at correct speed in the drive.
*For 3.5inch floppy drives or Gotek (pin34), it is a "Disk Changed" signal. The /DSKCHG signal determines whether the same disk loaded during the previous disk access is still in the drive.
The simplest solution to this issue is to just force the Ready signal on the cable itself. Note that the CPC will then hang if you type the CAT command when no disk is present (inserting a disk will unblock it).
Other solutions exist to [[Modify PC floppy drives]] to recreate a Ready signal. Also, Gotek drives (with a FlashFloppy or HxC firmware) can be configured to simulate the Ready signal.
