Got the Gotek working as an external boot drive on my A500. I put the selector switch in my trap door area. It works! Motherboard is Rev 6A, first time it has been opened -- I broke the warranty seal. The only issue I see so far is the mouse only wants to move horizontal.. have to troubleshoot that …
