Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.13
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)
The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.13 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
- Generate a x64 Windows build in addition to x32
- New disk formats:
- Generic IBM track scanner: ibm.scan
- General Music: gem.1600
- TRS CoCo OS-9, MM/1 OS-9: coco.os9.*, mm1.os9.*
- Commodore 1571 (C64) GCR: commodore.1571
- New image formats:
- D71: C64 CBMDOS GCR 1571 double-sided disk
- TD0: IBM sector format (Read only)
- EDSK: Support writing new EDSK images (gw read --format=ibm.scan my.edsk)
- gw read/write: New option --dd to set interface pin 2 for 5.25" drives
- C64: New low-pass filter PLL stage to clean up noisy flux images
- Can also be used more generally via a new sub-option to "--pll"
