Sorry to hijack the thread. But could you tell me if this linux catweasel
tool can read and write apple 2e and 2gs 5.25" and 3.5" floppies? Thanks.

I'm pleased to announce that the maintainer of
Linux cwtool has implemented
working support for reading and writing Intel M2FM "DD" diskettes as used
with the Intellec development systems :-).
Karsten did some analysis of raw bit images I sent him and produced a
working driver within a week! As a "smoke" test (my MDS800 is not
functional at the moment), I duplicated the ISIS-II system diskette and sent
the copy to a person with a working system. It boots, catalogs and
otherwise looks fine.
I have about 20-25 original distribution diskettes for the MDS800 and will
get busy imaging them ASAP. Who would be willing to host these?
They are "cooked" images, so it would be possible to extract the files from
them with a bit of work. However, they're obviously of the most use to
folks with access to a Catweasel board (and an Intellec system).
