English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Add ability to select PC floppy drive so you can read ADF files from PC Floppy

I would like to add the abliity to select the PC floppy drive as the AMIGA drive in the config section so I can put a ADF file on a regular PC floppy, that way it uses the real floppy disk to read and write the ADF file too simulating "Kind of" the Amiga floppy drive.

I know it's not practical but hey I have aPC that I run Amiga Forever on and it has a real PC 1.44 meg floppy drive and I can put a ADF file on it and it would give that feeling of a real Amiga!!

I don't how to edit and compile the code, and I think it would be easy to add to the source and distribute with all Newer distros....

I grew up with the Amiga 500 so I kind of miss it a lot, wish commodore had pushed it more instead we are left with a PC or MAC no other hardware.

What do other think of this, is it stupid??

Thanks!!!
