Unless you invent - and build some extra hardware yourself, which no one appears to have done - yet. You'd also need some extra software driver; the whole setup would be - similar to the X1541 cable/software for C64 emulators. - Some people have pointed out that you can buy a controller named "Catweasl" - which apparently can read all sorts of disks on a PC, including Amiga - disks. Please don't ask for details, I don't have the thing and I can't - tell whether it works. +A: No, and yes. No, with a standard PC it's impossible. However, with some + additional hardware (i.e. a new floppy controller) it is possible. I + currently know of two solutions, the AFR package which consists of a small + parallel port interface that you have to build yourself and some software, + and the Catweasel controller which is available as an ISA card and comes + with DOS software that can create disk files. I have a Catweasel here, and + it does in fact work. Q: Couldn't I attach an Amiga floppy drive to the PC somehow, and use that to read Amiga disks? @@ -268,6 +269,7 @@ Q: Does UAE run on the DEC Alpha/Sparcst A: UAE should run on all Unix systems that have at least X11R5 and a decent C compiler installed. So the answer is probably yes. Just use the generic Unix source and follow the instructions in README.UNIX to compile it. + However, using GCC and the GNU binutils can improve your chances. Q: Why is there a blank area on the left side of the screen? A: The Amiga can display graphics there, but usually doesn't because this
