WinUAE 1.3.4 WIP (24.12.2006) and ADFread 1.1

adfread 1.1 (24.12.2006)

========================

 

Adfread will allow you to create ADF floppy disk images from regular

Amiga disks using standard PC hardware. It uses same method as Disk2FDI

but is compatible with Windows 2000 and newer.

 

Requirements:

 

- Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista

- PC mainboard must have hardware support for 2 floppy drives. Unfortunately most modern PC mainboards don't have B: drive motor and select signals connected. MB is compatible if you can configure both A: and B: drives in BIOS. (usually..)

- 2 non-USB floppy drives installed on the same cable

- Regular format Amiga disks without any copy-protection

- A normal PC-formatted 1.44M floppy

 

Changes from 1.0 to 1.1:

 

- Improved internal disk operations

- Adfread can be run multiple times and only damaged sectors are retried (uses .status file to store sector status information)

- Small fixes and updates
