Is there a device that would allow _any_ disk,
independently of
format, including Apple ][ disks, to be read? I know Teledisk can do
this for all conventional formats, but not Apple disks. It would be
nice to connect one of these and read the disk image into a file.
The main reason why I ask is for rescuing messed up floppies...
A "Catweasel" board can do a lot of the formats including Apple. It's
available in two flavors, IBM PC, and Amiga. The big problem with the one
I've got for one of my Amiga's is the lack of software to actually do
this!!! According to one of the creators the PC version has better
software, but it can't right it out. As such the only software I've found
for the Amiga supports Mac (not sure about 400k), PC, Amiga, and C-1541.
However, the board is alos supposed to do Apple ][, Atari, and a couple
other formats.
