Unfortunately not Amiga disks.  Fortunately, I need the actual physical
floppies so I can make disks from the images that I already have. 8-)

There's a program called Amiga Explorer that I can run on a Windows
system (connected via null-modem to the actual Amiga) that lets me 
use the Amiga's floppy drive to read/write actual physical floppies.
