FWIW, I tried hooking one of these up to a catweasel 3

while it could read "1.2MB" floppies just fine, I couldn't get Tim
Mann's catweasel utilities to recognize any MFM or other encoding on
the data stream that the catweasel card was reading off the 2.4MB disks
I've got (which are IBM 3174 microcode disks).
A Catweasel histogram of a track of one of these might shine a little light
on the recording technique used. Could be CGR or even a flavor of RLL.
But isn't this drive on the 3174 read-only?
