Of course I meant a stock unmodified PC, with
"normal" hardware.
But yes, I'd love to have you make disk controllers for PC that can handle
hard sectored, GCR, etc. It's certainly quite doable, but there isn't
much of a commercial market for them.
This sounds like a Catweasel controller, a device that does in fact read
many custom floppy formats. I know for sure it can read C64/128, which is
my primary interest in it.
