OK, one for the hardware guys.
BippyM kindly sent me an external Amiga floppy drive that was reported to unable to read dics. The drive itself looks somewhat like an AmiTek unit and the actual drive within it is a Sony MPF110-04. This drive plugged into the obligatory adapter board with the external 23-pin port.
The question is, what modern PC floppy drive can I hack to replace the Sony floppy drive unit? Could I use one from the Amiga Compatibility lists that are posted on various sites, with the relevant hack applied?
I would dearly like to get this drive back into the land of the living.
