Hi All

I have just finished an Arduino project that can successfully read Amiga DD floppy disks (AmigaDOS only presently) and save them down to ADF files.  I was surprised how well it worked on my old disks that haven't been used in years.

The project is completely open source and you can read about it, grab source code etc at http://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk

The source code currently comes with two Windows applications (console and windowed) to control and read the data, but this could (and hopefully will be) easily ported to other operating systems.

I am looking at adding a write function and also adding FDI file format support for raw disk copying next.

I welcome any feedback regarding this project you have.

Cheers

Rob

P.S. This is my first posting on here. I used to have an account many years ago.
Brilliant work Rob! I actually started a similar project about 2 years ago, but real life got in the way :(

My project used a Teensy 3.1, but the idea was much the same!
