Video review: WinUAE & FloppyBridge
Robert Smith's project "DrawBridge" (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge) uses like the similar ADF Drive a microcontroller - in this case an Arduino board - to read and write Amiga floppies with a connected standard PC floppy drive. By means of the plugin FloppyBridge, WinUAE is also officially supported since version 4.9.0 (amiga-news.de reported).
In a short video review, the developer looks back at the history of this project and gives an outlook on his current project.
