Well, I've got the Greaseweazle software to run, but I don't know why,
which is hardly encouraging.
Installing various Windows updates, downloading .dlls, and puting the
latter in various directories changed the error messages but it never
actually worked. But downloading the latest Greaseweazle s

Further on the greaseweazle docs - there is a forum at
https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle/discussions which seems quite lively
and may be the right place to start.

Sorry to drip-feed this, but
https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Rescuing_Floppy_Disks is a useful
source on comparing various methods. It's clear that this type of interface
has particularly strong support on Apple due to their previous use of
non-IBM formats, and Amiga is also quite common (I

I could make a stupid comment and ask 'what's the difference between a
PDP8, PDP11, PERQ or HP9830?'. Apart from having fin

Other than the FBGA-equipped ones (e.g. Catweasel Mk 3-4) and a few
others, all basically use the same "timer capture" facility in all but
I would have liked to find that comparison site earlier. However I think
I'd still have gone for greaseweazle.

I'm a bit surprised that there don't seem to be any adaptations that
hook into the head pre-amps and use an ADC to give a view of what the
read signal actually looks like. Maybe that's asking too much--there
are certainly MCUs with sufficiently fast ADCs and memory to do this.

Is it really necessary to be always so confrontational? It is unpleasant.
