I am working on a amstrad megapc that has had the battery leak and while i have the rest of the machine working really well including a megacard the machine cant find the floppy drive or a hard drive o have cleaned and fixed what traces i can find but still it resists me - can anyone tell me a way of splitting or adding a isa slot so o can run a xtide or isa drive controller along side the megacard?

there must be broken connections under the FDD/HDD headers, the attached phot should help with finding them
I would recommend to remove both connectors and solder new ones

Not really, even if you would wire one there is no space left in the case...
