Using USB Floppy drives with Amiga
Hello,
Are there some drivers available for USB floppy drives? |

IMHO they should work just like any other mass storage device. No special drivers needed.
You can only read/write PC floppies (720K or 1440K). |

OK.
It should be a good alternative of how to get HD floppies support for the Amiga, assumed USB connectivity is already present. Also cheap because USB floppy drives cost around 15 euros. |

You get a 16 GB thumb drive for 8 euros. I don't think that floppy drives are cheap. And I don't see a reason why an Amiga would need to read a PC HD floppy. Note: you cannot read Amiga floppies, neither 880K nor 1760K.
