Posts: 116 		Hi all. I have an A7000+ with no ROMs or HDD, but with a Sony floppy disk drive. I have dozens of floppies I want to extract data from, onto my Pi 2B.

Is there a tried and tested way to hook up such an old floppy drive to a Pi for this purpose?

Posts: 116 		I'd heard of this but thought I'd read it didn't do RISC OS so dismissed it. Thanks very much!
