stand on that?
Sarayan (one of the developers for the MESS project) is working on
adding flux image support to Floptool (the MESS floppy disk imaging tool).
Merlin is getting a rewrite with a new, faster data processing engine
and acquisition support. Magpie will stay, as a command line "I want an
image, of this format, NOW" tool, but Merlin will take over more of the
specialised work ("I want to look at track 14, head 0 and splice it in
in place of the one in my current image").
A new disc image format is in the works too -- watch this space :)
