I have both external drive options. External cable without any chips, this gotek is seen as last floppy in chain. So if you have df0 and df1 then gotek will be seen as df3.
And I have modified external floppy where drive were floppy was replaced with gotek drive.
Both solutions work, first one is quite ugly. If I find it i will post picture of it.

Buy old external disk drive, wich has a floppy drive broken. Usually Gotek is drop in replacement for it. I wouldn't put it internal. Those who has done it has usually soldered cable under the external floppy connector.
