Hi,
 At the risk of being heavily Flamed, I am seeking information on Disk format
information for Amiga floppies. I am considering writing a File exchange progra
m for the MAC that would read an amiga floppy and display its contents as a
list of files . One source i've heard of is "Amiga DiskDrives inside and out".
Can someone recommend another source or area that might be helpful?

                                                        Thanks
                                                          Roger Smith
                                                          Ryerson Polytechnic,
                                                          Ont. Canada.

I sort of feel that the freely distributable Amiga classic program DISKX 
does a very good job at a very practical level of educating one about the 
AmigaDOS disk format (at least the original format -- can't say anything 
about teh FastFile System since my Amiga has a keyboard garage and 2 
floppies :-)
