Not a bad idea. I'd assume that you'd only be able to use PC formats, though, so it couldn't be a high-density drop-in replacement for DF0:. Or could the drivers provide an Amiga floppy emulation in software? That'd be interesting.

The people to talk to are probably e3b, Posiedon author Chris Hodges, and individual computers.

But a bit useless if you want to use it for unpacking ADFs to or something, you can't boot from it..


I was going on the assumption that the driver package would be downloaded to the FlashROM in the Algor, theoretically making it bootable.

I agree that it doesn't have much use otherwise, especially since it seems Poseidon already can use USB floppy drives. Could someone verify this on classic hardware?
