Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.7 (update)
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. A few moments ago version 1.6 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes:
- diskdefs: Fix atari.90 and zx.trdos.640
- DCP image read support (obscure PC98 image format)
- Fix discontinuity at index mark when writing perfect flux images
- Emit a write-splice (WRSP) block when writing SCP images
- read, convert: Fix off-by-one error when printing summary
Update: (30.01.2023, 16:05, dr)
Version 1.7 fixes reading IPF images with weak tracks. (dr)
