Hardware Floppy Emulation
« on: July 08, 2004, 09:46:21 PM »
Has anyone used a hardware floppy emulator with the Amiga? Here is a link for a floppy emulator.

What would be nice is to have a second write channel to the device that would allow you read/write the floppy image file stored on the device's memory seperately. It would allow for quick loading and selection of floppy images.

Yea but I doubt you could run a lot of games from it. I think a better software alternative would be something that would extract a floppy image and put it into an executable wrapper.

I've always thought that a useful feature for the Amiga OS is the ability to see a single NDOS floppy as a file which would be executed directly from WB or copied to the hard drive and executed from there.
