Has anyone developed support that can pull sector

in the way. I haven't honestly had much of a chance to hack on it :-(.
Most of the work has been put into cleaning up the DiscFerret data
acquisition tools to the point where they can actually be used. I have a
prototype sector decoder, but it hasn't been tested very well. I'm not
keen on releasing it until it runs through all the test cases without
crashing out...
Last I knew, it was capable only of pulling a
flux-transition stream and
analyzing statistics on it.
That's still the case, though I have two weeks off work over the
Newtonmas (or Christmas if you prefer) break, at least part of which
will be spent finishing off the software and creating a timing model for
the disc writer.
I will get cycle-level accuracy out of that thing if it takes all month!
