So, will it be possible to boot from that drive?

I still can't imagine a pc-floppy with ffs :huh:

Why not? AROS uses FFS on a PC disk, that can be recognised by a PC floppy controler.

I realised I'd just said OS4 didn't have floppy support when Thomas was just talking about it. It's just that I read sometime before that Hyperion were dropping floppies as dead technology and concentrating on more useful things. Guess not. ;-)

But on second thoughts, I have to ask...it is this floppy support direct, or does it need the Catweasel?

Concidering that this thread is about using FFS on a standard PC floppy controler and that the AmigaONE/Pegasos have PC south bridges which include the PC floppy controler... I would say that it's highly unlikely that you would need a catweasel!
