DrawBridge

The DrawBridge is an open-source and low-cost solution for building an Amiga-compatible floppy disk reader/writer for use within Windows only, requiring only an Arduino board and an FTDI adapter.

X-Copy

X-Copy Professional was a commercial product developed by Cachet Software for the Amiga. It was well-known for replicating most (but not all) games with on-disk copy protection, and it became synonymous for being the most pirated software distributed throughout various BBSes and scene group compilations.
