Regarding A-Eon's upcoming Amiga Tabor, will you be able to connect 3.5" Amiga floppy drives to it? As far as I can tell, the motherboard lacks an integrated floppy controller (and a ribbon style floppy connector). Assuming I'm right, are there any trackdisk.device compatible alternatives available?

(as far as I understand it, connecting a USB-based floppy drive to the Tabor would only make it a mass storage device, and not an Amiga compatible floppy drive)

it might work if you add a catweasel to one of the PCI slot (if Tabor still has them, dont remember the spec)

I do wish a PCIe Catweasel would appear.  Can't even find a system with PCI these days.

There is OS4 software/drivers for kryoflux

It connects over USB so it's good for the tabor as it does not have pci.
