It cannot be done. The Amiga doesn't use an off-the-shelf FDC, but accesses discs directly via a custom chip, which does 'dirty' things like putting extra sectors in-line with the index-hole. Which is a no-no for the Arc's 1772 FDC. This has been discussed all over the place (mainly on BBSses) for over a year now, by the way.
