English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Replace Amiga's Floppy Drive with USB Reader?

So I came across this today:

http://www.floppytousb.com/

It's a device that replaces a PC's floppy drive. It reads files from a USB flash drive, but it still "looks like" a regular floppy drive as far as the PC is concerned. You can have more than one "disk" worth of information on the USB device too (you use a small controller to select one of the folders on the USB stick to be the "disk".)

Has anyone ever done anything like this on a real Amiga? With floppies possibly going the way of the dodo soon, this could be a very cool thing to have for my A600/1200.
