Amiga floppy drives can be connected to the PC using a Catweasel floppy controller. Images can then be written to the floppy using your PC. I've never used one personally, though.


Actually, the Catweasel is a custom controller, not an Amiga floppy -> PC adaptor.  The Catweasel needs a standard PC floppy drive, not an Amiga floppy drive.  (Apparently some people mis-understand and hook Amiga floppy drives to it... That won't work.  Just use a $1 cheap standard floppy drive.)  And it does, indeed enable reading and writing to Amiga disks.
