I have not seen anything that will "write" from pc floppy to amiga format,
that does not mean however such a thing does not exist.
I am restoring my A500 and I am getting the parts from the following web
address...
http://www.ncweb.com/biz/dan/  (Dan's deals)    you can email him from the web
site and he probably has what you need to get the amiga up and running.
The parts I orderd have come and look very close to NEW!!!  so you can try him.
