He told me there's no Linux support. I should try Keirf's utils or access the
hardware with a serial connection.
May be I could try the Supercard in a VM.

Oggetto: R: Re: Writing 8" floppies with SuperCard Pro
Hi!
A bit OT.
I tried the fdadap card successfully reading and writing SD and DD disks, together with a
standard ISA controller.
Had to try a bit, since not every disk controller manages SD writes.?
So the FDADAP should be ok, and the problems lie on the Supercard side.
I contacted the Supercard guy, in order to know if there's a Linux support. I've
no windows machines, only some specialized DOS one.

Thus far I've been successful in creating images of

Shugart 851s and a Qume QumeTrack 842.? I'm using a DBit FDADAP
(

I'd tried the SuperCard Pro / FDADAP combo last March with no success.
I hope to return to the task.? Maybe it was a problem with my drive(s).
