Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.8
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. Today version 1.8 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes:
- IMD: Read & write IMD image files
- IMG, diskdef: Allow sector padding in IMG files
- gw read: No seeking to cyl 0 on retry, by default
- HFE: Fix data rate of FM tracks
- SCP: Fix checksum calculation, and verify on import
