I can say the 37c65 (all vendors) and all

do single density quite well. Most PC bus cards do not do ningle
density (any/all) of those more often than not do not do SD FM due to
board level implmentation limitations. The most common is the data
seperator is hardwired for (especially true for any board with 765/8272
on it) one maybe two data rates.
So, bottom line, if I find a floppy card that appears to conform to one of
the favorable ones on that list from comp.os.cpm, stick it in a PC and use
something like 22DISK, I should be able to make a physical backup of a TRS-80
disk? Is there some other piece of software I should use? Unless Teledisk
will produce an uncompressed image, it won't help me. I can process the disk
images once I get them onto the hard drive, that's the easy part.
TeleDisk is capable of producing either a compressed or noncompressed
image, however, in each case there is a certain amount of 'header' data
prior to the actual image.
AnaDisk, on the other hand, will produce a straight, uncompressed image
without any adds or alteration. You can also select the specific
contiguous set of tracks that you want to save to file.
