How hard is it to convert amiga game discs to ibm disc images without the use of amiga equipment?
If you by "ibm disc images" mean ADF, then this is the cheapest solution for creating them without any amiga hardware:
adfread 1.1 (24.12.2006)
========================
Adfread will allow you to create ADF floppy disk images from regular
Amiga disks using standard PC hardware. It uses same method as Disk2FDI
but is compatible with Windows 2000 and newer.
Requirements:
- Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista
- PC mainboard must have hardware support for 2 floppy drives
Unfortunately most modern PC mainboards don't have B: drive motor
and select signals connected. MB is compatible if you can configure
both A: and B: drives in BIOS. (usually..)
- 2 non-USB floppy drives installed on the same cable
- Regular format Amiga disks without any copy-protection
- A normal PC-formatted 1.44M floppy
Changes from 1.0 to 1.1:
- Improved internal disk operations
- Adfread can be run multiple times and only damaged sectors are
retried (uses <name of adf>.status file to store sector status
information)
- Small fixes and updateYou can download adfread from
