that's very cool!

so if I understand this correctly, one needs your special 'black box' between a PC and a floppy drive.

what if there's already a floppy drive on the PC?

If you already have a floppy drive on the PC, all you need is another floppy drive connected using the same cable.

One is used for the Amiga disk, the other is used with a blank disk as a control sync disk. It works fine for reading Amiga disks to ADF.

The software you need is fdrawcmd and ADFread

does that solution include a laptop? I mean my laptop has a floppy drive - probably one of the last of a dying breed  :lol:
