"classic Amigas"

Hmmmm me thinks of something .....

I really like to play my old ganes on the real thing instead of UAE,
but the floppies are a BIG problem these days.

Getting new DDs is allmost impossible, and HDs won't work for long.

So would it be possible to use games with this  adapter ?

Maybe only the first half of a HD-disk ?

Or even better, some sort of mass-storage (LS120) with multiple
games on it ?

@Zadoc

The drive is NOT the prob (have several of them in top condition),
but the disk are !!

Formating HDs to DD works, but not for long.

@KennyR

Why shouldn't it work under Amithlon ? And yes I've seen your "edit" ?

a) It is not even PCI.
b) The "powerpci.device" is probraly the best documented PCI-
solution available, and it easily support tv-cards.

/me just wants to know what you were aiming at

@theTAO
Too expensive (the PCI-card), and expected sales were far to low.
