I've helped out the guy with the fluxengine puzzle out a couple of formats, including the Brother 240K one that few seem to have sussed out. When I last proposed the STM32F407, I was met with "Oh, but the Blue Pill is cheaper". Okay, use the Blue Pill, but my code won't work with it. Not once has anyone contacted me and said "I'd like to try my hand at doing this, what can you tell me?". I've described the methodology of using an MCU elsewhere several times. And then there are 22Disk, Anadisk, Teledisk and specialized drivers of PC Yore that apparently nobody thinks that I originated. Anyone want to know why we sold off Anadisk and Teledisk 20 years ago, along with our specialized forensics software? Because we were getting bombarded with support questions (Sample: "I have game xxxx, why won't Teledisk make copies?" and later "Anadisk doesn't run on my USB drive".) while we'd maybe get a registration every one or two months. When offered money for the product rights, we jumped at it. We held onto 22Disk because there was the most public support for it--and we could sell it into the industrial PLC community. If someone really would like to help out, give me some hints on repairing a Matsushita LF-5010 WORM drive that won't mount a disc. --Chuck
