hm, I heard some use it to fool whdload in UAE..

It depends on type of used copy protection whether you can write them to real floppies ATM. If you got the original disks that are slightly damaged maybe you can copy those (not copyprotected) tracks from .ipf to it with that adf conversion already mentioned. (IIRC they sometimes protected only bootblocks with loaders)

BTW, I would love to have a way to backup&restore originals that I have but none of those utils (mfmwrap and similar) could do it.

hm, maybe that "flash card floppy drive emulator" project would one day work with .ipf (besides .adf that work now) on real Amiga

wow, it has support for so many computers, Jeff_HxC can you add "ZX Spectrum +3" and its .dsk?

wait, I just saw "Amstrad CPC6128", so it would work on +3, right?

do you sell DIY kits?
