I know these are two very different beasts, but I'm really struggling to make a decision here.
My main use-case for either device would be backing up a few hundred floppies as well as testing development versions of my game on my Amiga 1000 (I guess that's already a plus for the Gotek, since with the SDBox I'd have to convert the ADF to something I can run from a hard drive?). As far as I understand, with the Gotek I could back these up directly whereas with the SDBox I'd need to convert them all to ADF manually, is that correct?
Is there any way to use the Gotek as a temporary hard drive replacement?
If I end up choosing an external Gotek, I assume I'll be able to use it across platforms and also back up my Atari ST floppies by simply getting the right cable for it, correct?
Eventually, I want to get a Parceiro for my Amiga 1000 so that might make the SDBox moot sooner than later.
