On another mailing list that I am on, someone was expressing the
desire to retrieve data off some old BBC Micro floppies to see if it
would be possible to get some of the software running on a Raspberry
Pi. They do not own any machine with a floppy interface.
I suggested KryoFlux as a possible solution.
This was the response:

The driver is not only closed-source, but forbids
commercial use and
requests donations on top of the EUR100 they charge for about EUR20 of
electronics. The vendor can go fuck themselves. And you can quote me on
that.
Sorry, chaps, but I really do think you have a bit of a problem here
that you need to address!
