Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.19
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 1.19 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
- gw read/write/convert: New option --reverse
- Reverses track data (eg side B of a floppy disk)
- Windows 7/8: Fix device detection, broken since v1.18
- IPF: Auto-detect write splice when not reported in image
- New diskdefs: Epson QX-10, apple2.nofs.140
- gw info, update: Better error report when GitHub rate limited
- NFD: Initial import-only support for T98-Next floppy image files
