Can't understand...

Catweasel is the only way it's possible to WRITE an Amiga Floppy. Tho I do recall a hack allowing you to connect an external Amiga floppy drive to the parallel port for read access.

The format Amiga uses on floppys is similar to that of a CD, rather than in sector form like a hard drive. This is the same for double density (880k) Macintosh disks. It's impossible to get a PC floppy drive to move the way it needs to to correctly access these spiral tracks, without using some form of hardware to alter the way the drive heads move. Software alone can not accomplish this because it was never meant to be done with a PC floppy controller.

Holy crap, if you trace it all down, it takes a little of almost every custom chip on the Amiga just for floppy funtions! Even Agnus/Alice! I'd say all, but I don't see any connections to Denise/Lisa. Man our floppy drives are COMPLEX!
