Neat time capsule. A friend still has all his old amiga disks so I should probably build him something similar. What's the tool/project called?

I followed these plans:
https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/instructions/uno

It was pretty straightforward, I had some old drives to try it with, it worked on the first try with an old Mitsumi drive.

Once it's running you can access the drives directly to make images or load em in WinUAE via floppybridge.

Also the guy behind the plans, Rob Smith, has a pretty active Discord server https://discord.gg/hyEMPA5s
