I have acquired a 520st recently and I am wondering if an internal gotek would be possible? I was thinking about adding an interposer to the floppy controller IC to give an internal floppy connector, then remove the serial connector and bypass caps and make a custom bracket for the Gotek and mount it there, then maybe make some extension so the screen and controls pop over the top of the system. Thoughts?

Electronically, yes, possible - would be interesting to see the internals of the non STFM model you have :)

I suspect it wouldn't be too difficult to interface, but to keep the external working as a drive 2, that will need research.
