This is one of the things the Catweasel board is supposed to do. I've got
one in my Amiga 3000. In all honesty I've been less than happy with it, as
I'm only able to read/write FAT, Mac, Amiga, and C64 disks (while it was
advertised as doing much more).

The PC version is supposed to have far better software support and work
under both some MS OS or another and Linux. Since it is being marketed on
the PC specifically to read and write *Amiga* floppies, one can only hope
that it does in fact do just that.
