Arduino-Based Amiga Floppy Disk Reader
« on: July 20, 2017, 03:00:23 PM »
Hi All

I have just finished an Arduino project that can successfully read Amiga DD floppy disks (AmigaDOS only presently) and save them down to ADF files.  I was surprised how well it worked on my old disks that haven't been used in years.

The project is completely open source and you can read about it, grab source code etc at http://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk

The source code currently comes with two Windows applications (console and windowed) to control and read the data, but this could (and hopefully will be) easily ported to other operating systems.

I am looking at adding a write function and also adding FDI file format support for raw disk copying next.

I welcome any feedback regarding this project you have.

Cheers

Rob

Cool!

I look forward to learning a few things when sources are released!


It's all there now, there is a link to GitHub from the download page!

I'm now working on the disk writer!

Glad to hear you managed to get it working.  Im currently working in the writing module, I also discovered several bugs in the code that repairs bad MFM data, and will be publishing this in the next week or so
