English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Floppy Drive Emulation (Multi-Platform)

It looks to me some haven't even REALIZED what a breakthrough this is!

You can now play SPS images on your REAL Amiga!!
I thought this would never have been possible, especially not for heavily-protected ones.

BUT ...

My pet hate is this freakish way of data cables hanging out of hardware slots at greater length. Eeek!

This could be done a bit better:

By having a receptacle mounted on the home computer's case to be able to connect/disconnect the Floppy Emulation hardware cable from the computer.
This will also make transport easier and safer, e. g. in a car.
So the sensitive data cable (1 wire broken might mean that you can throw it away) could be stored at a safer place, e. g. the glove compartment.
