Floppy Drives
 
Hello !
Does anyone out there know if I can use a pc floppy drive and thus gain access to 1.4 meg of space as against the 880k limit of the Amiga drive. I look forward to any replies
Dave

Where do you want to install this FD? PC or Amiga? In case that you want to install a PC FD to an Amiga this link might help http://www.freewebs.com/computolio/a...atibility.html. Otherwise I don't think that you can use your PC FD to write or read Amiga disks without having the Catweasel MK4 controller. Check this out also http://amiga.emugaming.com/floppy1.html

Thanks for that cool first link xalakibaniou! I had a Sony MPF240-1 I had just ripped out of an old PC and was going to throw it away. Now I've re-jumpered it and it should now work as an Amiga drive! :great
