Still interested here if they're available to purchase or produce.

I got some of the pcbs left, but not the components that go on it. I'm sending one PCB to @ShootTheCore and could send one to you if you cover the shipping. But you'd have to buy the connectors from digikey yourself.
I would prefer if @ShootTheCore would get one first, and confirm usage on his end. Because I couldn't repair my broken X68000 OG model back then, so I sold it, and the FDX68 together with my adapter to another guy. The guy never got back to me when I tried to follow up though.

Parts are ordered - thank you!
If you're able to purchase items like the FDX68 from Japan, another option is the FDD-Drive-Swapper. It's a neat concept that was introduced by Sharp with the X68000 compact, but now can be added to any unit. I have it in my Expert and it works great.

Nice workI built a cable, but wouldn’t mind one of those adapters.
My adapter isn't much different. I just didn't want to go about it that way myself so I tried to design a board and use a regular cable. I can send you the last pcb I have after sending the one to ShootTheCore. I somehow missed backing up the project I had in KiCad when reinstalling my computer so I will see how I can try and recover that to share in a better way :x

I've made my own cable before too but it's such a PITA - this PCB should be much cleaner and nicer.
