uhm, there are a couple of obvious reasons why you can't do that but look at it like this, you can't run old 16-bit dos games in the nt versions of windows right, or atleast they won't work very good, in the beginning loads of people were making noise about this but later on more and more stuff got ported to the new 32-bit platform and everyone lived as happy as you can be with windows.

you can't cling on to old stuff forever if you want things to progress. you'll still be able to run old stuff through uae. It's time for the amiga to leave 1985 and enter the new millenium, or something...

no :/ but if you still got your old trusty classic amiga you can make adf images of them and transfer them to your a1 or peg or pc or whatever you choose to run uae under. there is also the catweasel which from how i understand it can be used to read amiga floppies on alien hardware.

or you could just keep your old amiga for playing the old stuff on  ;-)

if i remember correctly adfblitzer can do it and has a very easy to use interface. not 100% it can create adf's though but I think so
