[Q] Reading Amiga disks on a Mac

[Your Name]

I probably already know the answer to this, but has anyone managed to
work out a way to read Amiga floppy disks on a Mac?

Unfortunately I no longer have a (working) Amiga, but do have a huge
pile of floppy disks.

You can get hardware add-ons that reportedly work with Windows, but
they're a bit expensive.

What floppy hardware do you have there anyway? If it's just a PC there's
nothing to do. You would need to purchase other hardware then. Why not an
Amiga then anyway?

But if your floppies contain wide known software you might even find a
dump in the internet and download that as floppy image.
