More Information Commodore produced the Amiga line of computers in the 1980s and 90s. Amiga users created floppy disk images saved in various formats, including the .ADF , .ADZ , and .DMS formats. In 2000, developer Vincent Joguin created the FDI disk image format, to make sharing data between Amiga users easier. The FDI format is open-source , so most Amiga emulators can mount FDI disk images and access the data they contain.
