I always wondered if it was possible to create a virtual disk drive from WinUAE code for real Amigas and Workbench 3.x.
It would simulate DF1: or maybe even override DF0: under Workbench and you would just insert an ADF and read the data from it.
It would work a lot like the disk drives in WinUAE. And since at one point in the 90's I owned an UAE version for real Amigas and if that code still exists, it wouldn't be necessary to program from scratch. And I have never found anything like that working simply and userfriendly and it would be so much needed.
