1.44 MB floppys used in 880K Amiga Disk Drives

I modded my old PC's floppy drive with a switch that let me use old DD disks as HD disks, and never once had a problem with them.
I think if you have quality disks, they'll work fine regardless.

Why would you bother with floppy discs these days?

Has anybody experimented with floppy disk emulators on their Amiga? If so, what brands? I know you can get ones that have been tested with the Amiga but I am curious if one can get away with using cheap PC alternatives?

Because I have 100s of them and 4gb Amiga hard drives don't hold enough.

AFAIK, the problem with the HD disks is the medium is different from DD disks and requires much more power to magnetise. This will eventually put a stress on your amiga floppy drive and one day kill it.

I'm positive that your drive will not be harmed the slightest by doing this..
