Enter: The Greaseweazle - Episode 112

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the fantastic GreaseWeazle Version 4 from Kiers Fraser and assembled and sold by AmigaKit. This wonderful device allows us to use a PC Floppy drive to read and write Amiga 880 KB floppies and create ADF files. And now we can use it in WinUAE as a real Amiga Floppy! Nifty! Join me in reviewing this product and learning how it works.

  1. How does the floppy drive get power?
    The video never showed the hardware hookup?

    Yes the date cable and usb are easy to figure out..
