After watching the @mac84tv video on the dual floppy Macintosh LC, I wondered could the same thing be done with the LCII , Apple removed the second floppy port completely but left the same controller IC. With a little cable trickery I was able to get the second floppy working. Breaking out the second enable from the IC and connected to pin 14 of second floppy drive was all that was needed

It even shows left drive formatting vs right drive like the LC.

@mmu_man good point , you would need an LC top cover with the second cutout. This was more of a thought experiment though

@mmu_man @mnemonicoverload yea, you could have internal floppyemu and mirror the sd slot thing for left side, left side is floppy images and right side is hd images. And still have a real floppy drive 😉

Dual floppy drives on Quadra 700. With the second floppy enable pin attached to the still discrete SWIM floppy controller , who knew the Quadra 700 could support two floppy drives. I'm not sure if there is a later Macintosh that has a discrete SWIM

@mueller_minki @zarky Good guess, but that would also invert normally black border. I did it in software and used this to reinvert the corners https://github.com/retrotheory/InvertCorners_VintageMacintosh for the colour monitor I cheated with an external color mix pcb , and inverted with corners re inverted

@mueller_minki @zarky https://www.applefritter.com/node/11817 this is the software for inverting video
