DiscFerret disc analysers for sale!

Hi Phil, This looks great.??I have several old OSI, Apple, HP, and Commodore computers with floppies that I would love to preserve/recover/restore.??Is there some kind of guide or manual indicating: - the best hardware setup (e.g., can I use an IBM DD drive to recover older Apple and OSI disks???How about ond of the HD drives?)?? - General approach to analyzing a disk (perhaps an example of one format that you've supported, fully worked through?) I am planning on ordering a DiscFerret, but a bit of Documentation on the Wiki would go a long way toward making these immediately useful.
