What do YOU mean by "read" the disks?
I mean make KryoFlux do what it was designed to do. Whatever that is. I
assume make perfect images of disks.
Do you want access to the contents of the files, or are
you archiving
them?
I want to know how to use KryoFlux and make it work with Commodore 1541
floppies.
Kryoflux, and several others, will let you store and
MAYBE recreate, but
if you think that you have file access, then you will need to write an OS
file-system.
