SD-Floppy adaptor ... Amiga device drivers ???
« on: January 12, 2008, 01:45:41 PM »
Has anyone ever tried to make a driver for one of these?

If drivers existed for this device, this would be a really useful way of transferring large files and images between a PC and the Amiga without the need for networking or USB; albeit perhaps a bit slow.

My guesswork says that this device works by positioning the R/W heads of the floppy drive above similar heads in the "Floppy" and simply using the floppy drive as a means to communicate to the SD-Card.

Yeah, OK, smart media then :-) My mistake

The adaptor itself is an interesting solution to allowing memory cards to work on a computer without taking the case off or having working USB.

Still think it would be nice to have one of these working on a miggy, though.
