To use Greaseweazle with a 640kB drive (5.25, 80 track, DSDD) use the
acorn.adfs.640 definition (diskdefs); it works like a charm ! More here:

PS: I am looking for a Kermit version usable with my P2000C (it is the
2010-1 model, very similar to the 2012); everything I tried until now did
not work correctly...

There's a 'kermit.imd' disk image here :
https://download.homecomputer.museum/#Files%2FPhilips%2FP2000C
Have you tried that one? I've not had a chance to put it on a real
floppy yet, I've got another Philips computer in lots of bits here....
I trust you know the 'gotcha' with the serial port on the P2000C.
Namely that it's possible to use synchronous as well as asynchrous
modes. As a result, the clock inputs to the Z80A-SIO channel A are
normally sourced from pins 15 and 17 of the comms connector. The baud
rate generator drives pin 24 of said connector. You can either
re-jumper J12 as shown in the service manual or simply link 24-17-15
in the DB25 connector.

Looking at the disk image, I think that's MS-DOS kermit for the
optional 8088 add-on board (which I don't have).
But look at the other disks on that site. The 'CPM22' one seems to
contain something called Kermit too.
