Writing Amiga Disks with PB 180?

[Super TWiT]

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to use my powerbook 180 to read and write amiga disks. To my knowledge it supports some sort of variable speed encoding support, to remain backward compatible with older apples. I was thinking about maybe putting linux on it which has support for amiga filesystems since kernel version 1.3. I also have system 7.5 installed. I am not completely sure if this is possible, and was wondering if anyone thought this might work.

My powerbook isn't my main computer by the way, I am using a newer computer than that. I just wanted a way to write amiga disks and thought I may have some use for my old powerbook. It may not be well suited to this process. The powerbook 180 is black and white and came out in 1991 BTW

I might try this, but I see a problem with one particular step. I don't have any amiga disks, so  I have been putting tape over the hole of my high density disks. Is there anyway I could create disks the amiga could read/boot from within linux?

The Powerbook 180 had an apple supperdrive as the floppy drive. These drives were backwards compatible with the older style macintosh variable speed drives. Other than that I don't know much about it. I don't think it is possible under linux to write an affs filesystem type anyway. Mkfs won't do affs so I think this project is a no go. Also, I can't seem to get linux to go on the powerbook 180. I've never done linux on the 68k. Too bad there wasn't a system 7 application that would do this.
