- As far as I know there's no chance of reading or writing to/from an Amiga disk.
- Guess what? It's those custom chips. Unlike the rest of the civilised world
- (Mac's excepted) Amiga Corp didn't use a Western Digital chip, so there's not
- much chance of it working.
-
- That's what I found anyway, 'cause I tried writing a program like it a year or so
- ago. I did successfully read Archimedes disks, and if anyone wants the source to
- it (in GFA3 and m/c) they're welcome to it after the start of our Spring term
- (11th Jan).

- David.
