Hi all. I have an A7000+ with no ROMs or HDD, but with a Sony floppy disk drive. I have dozens of floppies I want to extract data from, onto my Pi 2B.
Is there a tried and tested way to hook up such an old floppy drive to a Pi for this purpose? |

Use a Greaseweazle on a PC or under Linux on the Pi. You can extract them to sector images and mess with them under RPCEmu or whatever you'd use for dealing with sector images under RISC OS. |

I'd heard of this but thought I'd read it didn't do RISC OS so dismissed it. Thanks very much! |
