Title: fantasies about some future system
Post by: kickstart on September 21, 2008, 06:50:34 AM

Hi all...

I own a macmini since some years ago (when macmini was sold with 256mb of ram) well, this system is waiting for morphos and thinking about it i have some questions.

If i put an usb fdd in the macmini can i read my system friendly disks? or mounting amiga hdd's in external usb case?

Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean by system friendly disks, but it will not read Amiga floppies, if that is what you meant.  It will read Mac floppies when running a MacOS and it will read MSDOS floppies when running the later versions of MacOS.

As for reading Amiga hdd's, same answer as Amiga floppies, unless you can get an Amiga emulator, like EUAE to see the USB connected hdd, then maybe, but I doubt it.
