Re: OT - Amiga emulator?
Best solution is to get hold of an old amiiga (any one will do) then transfer your files by serial or parallel cable. I spent an entire Staurday doing just this Last month.
Anyone want to buy an amiga?

Re: OT - Amiga emulator?
No emulator can read Amiga floppies... The hardware is incompatible.
You have to buy a special adapter or use one of the tutorials out there to build your own...

WinUAE is free, but I think you need the kickstart files (and possibly workbench as well), which are not provided with WinUAE and should be purchased from Amiga Forever, as they hold the copyright.

I checked at my Amiga club Last night to be sure this was true. To read Amiga floppies you need an Amiga compatible floppy drive. These are on Amiga computers.
Once you have the Amiga, then transfer them to PC floppies with CrossDos, burn a CD, transfer them using a modem, ethernet, serial or parallel cable to another machine, ect.

Re: OT - Amiga emulator?
Told ya. Commodore used a more advanced floppy controller with the Amiga than IBM was using in their PCs, and the PC still uses the same floppy controller, so it can't read Amiga formatted disks.
