This looks very promising!

Having to find an ancient or rare mobo with an ISA slot and an expensive expansion card just to access Amiga floppies seems insane in this day and age.

But after plugging this gadget in, will the drive still read DOS/Mac/et c. disks?

Sounds like it will make your PC type floppy become an Amiga floppy, so you should be able to read the PC/Mac disks the way you always have. Of course, that's in theory...and we all know what that theory does not always = reality.


Yeah, I'd expect that to be the case under AmigaOS (emulation), just pop PC0 and MAC0 in devs:dosdrivers, but will e.g. Windows be able to use the drive as usual with this thingamajig there?

Maybe We Shall See when that site gets updated.
