How about doing what UAE can't do -- read Amiga floppies on a PC?  Paying almost a hundred dollars for that Flipper/Catweasel/Whatevertheycallit, is a bit extreme.  It doesn't have to support every possible disk format, just Amiga.

How about, dare I suggest it, a PC 1.4 Meg PC floppy controller hacked onto an Amiga card, such as the PCMCIA slot of the A1200.  I'd love one of those, and it can't cost as much as a custom-engineered logic chip with a PCI bus designed only for the PC?

Also, is it true that the original blueprints for the AGA chipset were lost/stolen/destroyed somehow?
