AboutGregory Donner Expertise Questions regarding the Amiga computer; software/hardware troubleshooting. If I can't answer a specific question, I will do my best to direct you to someone who can.
Experience I certainly don't know everything about the Amiga, but having been a user of several different models for about fifteen years, I'm willing to share what I know.
Question Hi, i think my 600 disk drive is broken and was given a 500, do you reckon an Amiga 600 can use an Amiga 500 drive?
cheers

Answer Hi Amy,
While I can't say I know for sure (seeing as I've never tried it), I suspect that the Amiga 500 and Amiga 600 internal floppy disk drive mounting hardware would be different, so you would need a floppy disk drive specifically for the Amiga 500.
You should be able to find a new or at least good used replacement floppy drive from one of the following places:
amigakit.com, ebay.com (just search for "Amiga 500 internal disk drive") or softhut.com.
