Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle V4.1
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" reads the magnetic layers of the disks independently of the used disk format and saves as much information as possible in a so called "Flux Level Image" in the Supercard-Format (SCP) which enables reading and writing copy-protected disks. Greaseweazle consists of a mikro controller board that costs only a few euros which is connected to a disks drive and then via USB to the PC. V4.1 is the very latest version, updating the V4 design with new features:
- Larger form factor with stronger mounting holes
- Modern USB-C connector
- Input protections (ESD, over-current)
- USB power isolation, allows Greaseweazle to be powered by external PSU along with drive(s)
The new version is already available in his eBay shop and should also be listed in other stores in the next few days.
