I have Amiga HDFDD at home and could perform an experiment...

At least here the problem is that Amiga HDFDD still requires FDC and is twice expensive than set of ordinary HDFDD with ISA Multi I/O card (what gives also 2xCOM and LPT). Besides, for ZX you need some more memory with operating system. -- Yarek.
