Plug and Play
It’s a real easy DIY installation!
If you can replace the floppy disk drive, you can install this device. The device connects to your existing power and data (ribbon) cables.

This is a very easy to fit DIY Conversion Kit that can be installed by anyone with basic DIY skills, no soldering required, it is a simple plug and play kit.
The beauty of the FDE 1000 is, instead of being able to read and write from a just a
single floppy disk at a time, you’ll have instant access to 1000 floppy partitions by inserting a single memory stick into the front of the converter. simply select the floppy number you want via the two front buttons 0 -999 .
Of course it does not end there, the more Memory Sticks you have the more virtual floppies you’ll have, so storage is much simpler, and lets face it takes up far less space.

You’ll be surprised at how fast 100 partitions gets filled and you wind up out of disk space again..
The FDE1000 is a 1000 floppy disk emulator with a 3 number digital display, these are the most up to date and the latest versions available. The FDE1000 is not available anywhere else apart from this website
Do not be fooled by the drives being advertised on Amazon or other websites at a much much higher price, they are NOT what we offer, they are older ones with the red button and only capable of storing the equivalent of 100 floppies on a single flash drive and are just a re-badged version with a printed case to reflect their company name.
Why replace your Floppy with an FDE
At some time you’ll realise that your old and dated floppy Drive is starting to fail, data may become lost and corrupted, also, floppy disks them selves are notoriously unreliable and easily damaged, they can also wear out from continuous use, again allowing your precious settings and data to be lost forever
Full fitting instructions, step by step photographs and video are included.
A FREE ready to go memory stick is supplied that has been properly formatted with 1000 virtual floppy disks, further memory sticks are also available to purchase, giving you unlimited storage of all your files.
Please do not order unless your model is stated in list below, as it may not be suitable for all Lowrey Organs just because they have a 1.44Mb floppy drive already built in
