I recently picked up an Amiga 500 on eBay. I may have

In case I don't. Does anyone have advice on how I can get disk images
and make floppies from them readable by the A500?
I have PC's and Macs with floppy drives available to make the disks.
What else do you have?
Do you have anything with a WD 179x controller? (that can do a
"raw"/non-sectored MFM track read/write)
After it is booted, the Amiga can read and write Amiga MFM and IBM/WD
MFM.
The PC can not read nor write Amiga MFM (well, there are some sleazy
little tricks, but I think that they won't enable writing.
