Some people are bothered by Kryoflux's behavior around openness of their formats and the like. I _think_ they've addressed that, but if you care about this, you will have to verify. _My_ Kryoflux went deaf -- quit hearing any flux on the read line from the drive -- but that doesn't seem to be common. The SuperCard Pro doesn't seem to support 8" disks. That may or may not be an issue for you. The frustrating part of the whole flux imaging arena is that the hardware is actually the _easy_ part. Software to decode flux images for all the myriad on-disk formats, copy protection schemes, etc is both the hard part _and_ the part everyone seems to skip over. If you just need to process Apple / Atari / Commodore / PC diskettes, you're probably covered. For anything else you're probably on your own. Note that some disk types are CLV, not CAV (e.g. some Mac disks), and reading them without additional hardware support may be problematic. De
