After several years of hard work, my Amiga floppy drive stopped working leaving me in trouble... do I have to buy a new drive (but several disks are in bad condition too), buy a floppy emulator (nice but expensive for retro fun) ... or try to use my Raspberry PI other than as xbmc player? |

Over the past month or so, I’ve resurrected my old Amiga 1200. I added a 2Gb SD card internally and set up a serial link to my PC. I needed software, so I downloaded an archive of 1000(ish) Fred Fish disks. Fred Fish was someone who published floppy disks with curated pieces of software and they were a gold mine. I bought a few over my years at Uni, and the one with SB-Prolog got me through my second year resits. |
