Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

So finally got round to actually making my 3k usable, it's had all new tact switches, some recapping done, fixed the noisy headphone output with the ground mod, a new screen. (Pads / sensors / corx on order)

Really enjoying this machine.

So the gotek i fitted to it, is running flashfloppy. Which is working now, except for the MPC doesn't realize when i've changed the disk from the rotary encoder on the front of the gotek, you can kind of trick it by trying to save a sample, it then complains there is no disk, re-reads the disk and then you can save / load from the new selected disk image.

Of which i could kind of live with but the real crux comes when trying to save a program which is more than one floppy, it's just won't save on to the next disk as it still thinks the previous one is inserted.


So a bit of reading suggests that the 3k uses some kind of non-standard pin for the disk change line. Anyone know how to jumper this thing correctly ?
