I have heard that there are plans available on Aminet to HACK a PC-Floppy Drive.  Don't know if that solution works with copy-protected games!

It is still possible to purchase a genuine Amiga internal drive.

The PC drive is not a direct plug in replacement.

On some drives you can just get away with swapping the diskchange and ready lines over (plus DS1 & DS0), but it really depends on the PC drive.  Some work great, others don't wanna know you.

Look on my website under the floppy conversion section:

I've written a section on modifying an older model Panasonic JU257 as a plug in replacement, plus some additional info.
