Afr?
« on: April 17, 2011, 08:02:53 PM »
I just ran across a project to connect an Amiga floppy to an intel type PC. it's:
[FONT="]Amiga Floppy Reader v 1.0f (c) 1997, Marco Veneri

Has anyone built this? With what sort of success.  Looking over the PCB, it looks like it might actually work. The down side is I can't find any references to this project anywhere.

Is this the project: http://afr.back2roots.org/ ?
Haven't seen it before, I just was curious.

Not where I found it, but it sure looks like the same project.

I've not built one of those among the many other hardware hacks over the years. But if you're only interested in reading Amiga floppies on a PC there are other and perhaps easier options....

What I need is to load real Amiga programs from floppy into a windows machines running AUE. Although the link you provided says these options will work, I have never had any luck.
I guess biting the bullet and buying a Catweazel is the only easy answer.
