IS THERE NO SITES ON THE INTERNET WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AMIGA GAMES THAT CAN BE PUT ONTO 3 1/2" FLOPPY VIA THE PC?


There are plenty of sites where you can download Amiga games.  The best one is Back 2 the Roots.  Everything on that site is fully legal to download and enjoy for personal use.  :-)

The problem is getting the disk images written back to actual Amiga disks.  A normal PC cannot write an Amiga disk.  Different hardware disk controller.  A hardware impossibility.    

There are two solutions:  
1) You can transfer the disk image file (ADF) to the Amiga, and write the disk on the Amiga.  Tutorials are out there for this.  Several are on this site.  
2) You can get a "Catweasel" controller for your PC.  This is a custom piece of hardware that allows you to use a standard floppy drive to write any format of disk.

Good luck, and enjoy!  :-)
