In order to read a 1.2M 5-1/4" floppy on the Amiga, you need a different
disk controller.  I presume you could do this with a BridgeBoard, but
haven't a clue as to how.  You certainly can NOT do this just by plugging
the device in, because of the Amiga's disk controller (such as it is)
limitations.
