Have you try adfread?

adfread 1.0 (31.03.2006)
========================

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
- BIOS support for 2 floppy drives
- 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

[Download : http://www.winuae.net/files/adfread-1.0.zip ]

Adf sites are good but this proggy is needed for our save disks

. you only need 2 floppy disk drives, your amiga disk and 1 pc disk

Hmm, pretty sure I have a 2nd floppy drive sitting somewhere, will have to dig it out and give the proggy a try.

yes but remember that the 2 floppy rives must be on the same cable

super_hoops1967 · 03 Aug, 2006, 01:37 PM

which cable will i need for that? any links (uk)?

ParaSitius · 03 Aug, 2006, 02:02 PM

Usual bog standard floppy cable with the twist in it, should have two connections on it to accomodate two floppy drives.

super_hoops1967 · 04 Aug, 2006, 07:03 PM

i've put my 2nd floppy drive in on the same cable as my other floppy drive but it's only showing 1 of the drives (:a) whem i go into explorer. why is the 2nd one not showing??

neats switching on in your PC's bios settings? are there jumpers to arrange so the two dont try and sit in the same place?

just guessing here... havent tried it myself.
