Please ask for a SLIM version, as these drives are too long to fit standard GoDRIvE1200 model.
Escom Amiga 1200
If you are owner of ESCOM A1200, GoDRIvE1200 will not work without modifying mainboard and replacing PC-compatible FDD fitted, for Amiga compatible one. There is a wire underneath the floppy connector that is bridging Pin 2 and Pin 34, this simply needs cutting out or de soldered.
