Amiga external Disk Drive
Back in February 2008 I build my own external disk drive for my Amiga 500.
The circuit takes care of the differences between the Amiga and the PC disk drives, the only modification (not required*) to the drive being the bypass of the density sensor.
* Only required to use HD floppies without the need to close the HD density hole with tape.

Originally discussed in a thread at retrocomputacion.com forum, today I finished writing a more concise and complete article detailing the workings and construction of the controller board.
