If you mean a selector that turns DF1 into DF0, then no. The DF0 select line isn't available at the external floppy port unless you reroute it internally. Even if you do that, you can't switch between DF0/DF1 on the external adapter because DF1 will no longer be available on the external floppy port if you do.

If you meant to switch between DF1/DF2/DF3, then it could be possible if you add switches that connects either of SEL1/SEL2/SEL3 from the Amiga floppy port to SEL1 on the drive but you will break the chaining functionality if you do. I don't understand why you would like that.

OK, leaving it with not selecting drives ...

2 more questions ...

1. Doe's it work with PC drives or they need to be modded for Amiga ???
2. Can the adapter be connected to secon adapter via the 24 pin connector on the board with supplying power to 3rd drive ???

1. It has to be modded for Amiga first.

2. You can connect another adapter on the 24 pin connector. Or connect another drive on the 24 pin connector. Or you can connect the adapter to the outgoing connector on an external drive.
   They handle addressing automatically according to position in the chain.
   In short, chaining the adapter works just as chaining any other external drives.
