Just can't understand ... without catweasel no one can use pc floppy to write amiga disk... uhn... and the only explanation is controller - sorry but until I understand for me is n*sense. Why?


PC floppies have gaps between sectors of a track. Amiga track is single blob of data with no gaps. It does still have the sectors in it (11) but directly after each other.

PC controller cannot write data without these gaps.

old post about the matter

No it can't be done in software. fdutils won't help. It's still limited by the hardware limitations in the fdd controller.

Err two small questions - I searched amigaworld.net and I found the olegil project... better - the poll about if that project deserves to go ahead or not - nothing more nothing less so:
1- Is the project really running?
2- There's any url for it?

Can't find any more info
Thank you!
