I've built this - it works really well. Both reading and writing Amiga disks.

I didn't forget. I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for letting me know about it.
A fairly recent one: https://applesaucefdc.com/
I have built a Flux engine adapter and managed to get good dumps with it. It is easy to build and cheap. Gets a +1 from me.
