Hi Jonni, I already replied on your quick confirming reply that writing disks also works.
I however could not find my previous answer to your comment so here again my reply.
I used exactly the same FTDI board as that was used by Rob in his article, without any luck in writing Amiga disks.
And using an external power supply for 5V made no difference at all.
Maybe the USB adapters didn't work, so I now ordered those RS232/USB boards you successfully used on eBay.
Thanks!
I can't see if the eBay board you suggested also has a CTS pin? I understand that it will be needed for Rob's project because grounding that pin won't work?
