Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.4
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 1.4 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes:
- Read support for DIM, FDI, HDM, XDF, and D88 image formats: primarily used with Japanese computers
- Renamed pc98.hd and pc98.dd formats to pc98.2hd and pc98.2dd
- Fixed head count on pc98.2hd and pc98.2dd formats
- Support pc98.2d format (used e.g. by PC-88 and X1)
- Support pc98.2hs format (used primarily by late PC-98)
