#8 — [Q] Reading Amiga disks on a Mac

I probably already know the answer to this, but has anyone managed to
work out a way to read Amiga floppy disks on a Mac?

What Mac and Amiga models are we talking about?

From what I know it only works the other way round: Amiga can read PC,
Mac and Atari ST 720 KB disks.

If you have the two machines close together you might be able to connect
them with a (null modem?) cable and share files and directories to copy
them over without using floppies.

Unfortunately I no longer have a (working) Amiga, but do have a huge
pile of floppy disks.

You can get hardware add-ons that reportedly work with Windows, but
they're a bit expensive.

What floppy hardware do you have there anyway? If it's just a PC there's
nothing to do. You would need to purchase other hardware then. Why not an
Amiga then anyway?

But if your floppies contain wide known software you might even find a
dump in the internet and download that as floppy image.
