- nitrogen 15y agoThanks for the pointer to KryoFlux. I've got some old Amiga format disks that came with a vintage digital synth I bought, but no way to access them until now.
- raverbashing 15y agoAmazing! At first I thought it was something even lower-level (that is, a true magnetic scanner that didn't depend on existing disk drives - there are solutions like that for shattered HD plates and disks, but I'm assuming it's very expensive) But I don't know much about floppy drives to say what are the limitations of using a standard floppy reader.
- JunkDNA 15y agoAm I reading this right that I can take a "standard" 3.5" floppy from a PC, hook it into this board, and it will read my old Amiga formatted disks?? I thought this was impossible to do with modern drives. Anyone know how this gets around all, the crazy hacks Amiga drives could do? I'm not a hardware guy, so I don't fully understand the issue. I just know I have shoeboxes full of unlabeled floppies in the basement that I would love to preserve.
- vyadh 15y agoIt works because it is itself a floppy controller - it doesn't go through your PC. It has complete control - just like the Amiga did! :)
