That's a dirty word, apparently.

Just curious.
Would it be possible to throw a PC floppy drive in a 1010/1011 shell and use it for crossdos or whatever to read PC flavoured disks?

If you're going to use crossdos, then you don't need a PC floppy drive.
The 1010/1011 will work.
In order to use a PC floppy, you'd have to mod it to work with an Amiga.

Oh yeah, I know the stock drive will read PC disks, I was just curious if there was some way to use an unmodified PC floppy drive to do the same thing, since Amiga floppy drives are getting harder to find/make.  I know it won't read Amiga floppies.
