Converting Atari SF354 Floppy drive to SD-Card drive for Atari ST

Nowadays more modern storage systems are available for the Atari ST. Usually the internal floppy drive of the Atari ST is replaced by a drive for an USB stick.
Because I want to keep my Atari ST as original as possible, I opted for an external Floppy drive. I've found an Atari SF354 Floppy drive, which I'm going to convert to a drive for SD-cards!
Thanks for watching!

Quite a nice solution. My SF314 was broken and I replaced the drive with a modified PC drive, which has the benefit of it having no troubles with writing to HD floppies. Because the PC drive is a lot smaller, it left enough space put an additional Gotek into the case as well. So I have now have a 2-in-1 solution ;-)

That looks like a great solution, one drive for floppies and USB sticks!

A very clean looking build, well done! I always wondered how to connect this "Atari style non-standard" Data cable to a Gotek or Goex. Now I know it's possible, thanks to your video!
Maybe I'll build a similar solution for my 520STM. Have to look out for a defective SF314/354, as I don't want to "waste" my fully functional SF314 for that. We will see... 😉

[@gespy]

I wouldn't sacrifice a fully working SF314 for this either. If you can still find a defective SF354 on Ebay, that will be a better solution.

I like your desk with the space for the 1050 drives. Is it custom built?

[@gespy]

Yes, I made a wooden cover for the 1050 drives myself.

Great build :)

[@gespy]

Thanks.

Why is it drive B?

[@gespy]

Because the build in drive of the ST is drive A.
