I just found this very cool project to replace the internal floppy of an Amiga 500 and up with an SD card interface. I know such things have existed for a while now, but this one is probably the nicest interface I've seen while also being very affordable. You'll need a Raspberry Pi and a few other bits on a chunk of perf-board to make it.
You can actually buy a pretty complete kit to achieve this by getting the SD Floppy Emulator that Lotharek made. Works like a charm. :-)

I got the USB version with my A2000 !
Can someone explain to me why you would want an SD floppy drive if you already have like a internal CF hard drive?

I think that's why I got confused... I mean... why???

Because Amiga 500... 1200 and 600 are easy to throw in a CF card due to IDE support but Amiga 500 isn't that easy.
also I can see it as a intermediate step where all your disk images are backed up, but not dumped to the hard disc.
