Default external Amiga drive for Laptop PC?
Hi There,
Does anyone make an external amiga floppy disk drive that will work with a PC? I would really like to load my older software into Winuae. Final Writer, Final Data, ect..
They may be old, but I still like the way they work better than ms office.

Reading Amiga Floppy Disks on PC

None of these work on modern laptop out of the box (I doubt laptops have parallel port these days, just USB. This means that AFR is out of question aswell).

nothing is impossible but is it worth it . adaptor on adaptor


*edit* although that AFR sounded quite picky on the paralell port so may not work at all...
