KryoFlux - imaging of vintage floppy disks via USB

Nobody _needs_ a disk archiver. In fact it's quite possible to exist without any computers at all (not that I'd want to). More seriously, the reasons for wanting source code are many and varied. Among them are : To modify (call it 'tinker' if you like to make the user interface more useful for you, and a feature you've not throught of, etc To modify it to run on some hardware (or operating system) that you don;t support To understand how the thing works, either to design/write your own verion or to understand how the data on the disk was wencoded in the first place as an aid to understnadign and repairing the disk controlelr in the classic computer To ensrue the program is not doing anything malicious. OK, I don't believe that _you_ would add some malicious 'feature', but equally I'd like to be able to check To 'future-proof' it. To be sure the file formats are really going to be useful in the future, to be able to modify the software ot run on some machine that doesn't exist at the moment, and so on. It's your product, you can distribute it how you like. And at the moment I couldn't use it anyway. But I can assure you that if I ever do decide to get a comptuer that could support such a device, I would choose the DiskFerret over this one, simply due to the availability of source code. -tony
