DISCUSSION Amiga floppy disks cannot be read on PCs without installing additional hardware such as a special floppy disk controller or a second floppy drive.
Total Cost of ownership is lower on PCs than on Macs hardware compatibility is better on a PC then on a Mac and software availability is better on a PC than on a Mac and PCs are cheaper and faster than a Mac.
This software works with the most common floppy disk controllers used in industry standard PCs, requiring no custom hardware other than an inexpensive additional PC floppy drive.
