There was a thing called the Central Point Option Board which simply plugged inline between the PC floppy drive and controller. Did the same thing as the Catweasel. It allowed the PC to read all the wonky CP/M disk formats, single density, 400/800K Mac too. Dunno about Amiga. The problem with that is the software was DOS only, unless someone has done Windows or Linux software. The DOS stuff might work in a DOS window or command prompt. ===== "Truth is, after all, a stronger edifice than a lie. An empire may be built on lies, but it only takes a single truth to crumble it."
