Ecco la prima risposta alla mia domanda se l' Armiga legge o no i Floppy originali visto che nel video polacco si vededa che li leggeva:
Hi, no problem at all, it seems there is some confusion there
. We never said it does not read original disks, but most likely they won´t work. Why?, because most original disks were copy protected with variable bit density methods. However, the ADF is by design fixed density and cannot accommodate those variations, that the game itself used to check if the original disk was present. It´s the same reason why if you try to copy an original-copy-protected disk in the Amiga, it won´t work, because the resulting disk will have fixed bit density.
However, not all original disks were protected by this methods and those can be read and executed with no problem
.
Last, we want to clarify that with the Armiga we are not supporting piracy by any means: we clearly say what it can do and the buyer must know if it´s useful for him. A lot of our clients are developers/designers/musicians that want their work to be preserved .

Non sto demonizzando Armiga eh, ce ne fossero di progetti che supportano Amiga visto che il real hardware ha ormai raggiunto prezzi al limite del ridicolo. Solo che la versione con floppy mi sembra tanto un boomerang che gli tornerà dolorasamente indietro (gia un prodotto di questo genere è una nicchia nella nicchia, somma poi tutti quelli che compreranno l'accrocchio per usare i floppy originali e si renderanno conto troppo tardi che non gliene leggerà uno che è uno).
