If the particular device has an standart shuggart bus, PC floppy bus, Amiga floppy bus then IMHO it should work.

No the question is : the converter can be ported on Android (http://www.android.com/)?
Well, if there are an ansi-c compiler available (gcc for example) on it, this should be possible.

I think you would need a way to compile C code to java bytecode, or to install normal c libraries and all that stuff on android. If I understand correctly, android is a butchered java running directly under the linux kernel.

It's a little different than that, fortunately.

Android uses a modified Linux kernel; most user-visible applications run in the Dalvik virtual machine, and if you want to expose a UI, you basically need to have at least part of your application in that fashion, using the Android SDK .

However, you can also write C code, using the Android NDK.

The two – SDK and NDK – go hand-in-hand, so if you have part of your application that is/needs to be written in C, you'd end up using both - the NDK for the C bits, and the SDK for the UI-and-similar bits.
