I have been wondering on something for quite some time;
These modern days we have the catweasel floppy controller that lets us use modern pc floppy drives to read and write amiga disks on pcs.
(if I'm mistaken, please correct me)
Is there any way of making a board that sits in between the floppy port (of any amiga) and a modern floppy drive. and that lets us use it for dd and hd floppies?
lets face it, the old drives are dying and there are not made any replacements. but cheap pc floppies are still in abundance.. (i have somewhat 20 drives collecting dust... though, some are broken)
Ian Stedman's adapter (

Otherwise try to locate a Catweasel MKII (out of production now) and keep it safe!
