Amiga HD floppy drives spun at 150RPM rather than the usual 300 from my understanding because the chipset couldn't handle a higher bitrate whereas on a PC the FDC switches between 250/500Kbit/s modes so I wonder if a pc controller could indeed read an Amiga HD floppy at all or if there are other differences?
