HD floppy hw solution?
« on: April 05, 2013, 09:02:22 AM »
(I was looking for a thread I remember in the later months by someone who was working on new small projects and who I think was looking for ideas)

Has there ever been a gadget that interfaces between an hd floppy drive and a standard Amiga and does MFM en/decoding on the fly?
You would need a completely new driver of course, that doesn't send the data in/out in MFM format, but that is an idea that has already been used by a networking product (which names fails me atm).
If you got really creative you could make a new trackdisk.device that handles both cases.

Not sure I've ever heard of it before, but that sounds exactly like what I had in mind!
