There is a HD floppy out for the amiga made by Applied Engineering.  However,
the current model can not read 1.44 meg PC floppies.  It seems the 1.52 meg
(amiga format) drive was easier to do so they developed that one.  They now
see the error in their decission and are hard at work on a 1.76 meg version
that WILL read IBM 1.44 meg floppies.
