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
floppies, but less successful in writing them back out.? Thus far I've tried a pair of
Shugart 851s and a Qume QumeTrack 842.? I'm using a DBit FDADAP
(http://www.dbit.com/fdadap.html) to deal with cabling and the TG43 signals.
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).
