Spinrite made their money off this version back when
MFM and RLL drives were still current. They no longer
provide it and haven't seen fit to offer it to PD.
Whoa boy, I *will* speak up when this listserver starts publicly doing
things that are not in the best interests of the classic computer
community. We are talking about software that is still a viable
commercial product (although granted, it appears to be an older
version.) Trying to trash the reputation of this hobby is not something
that I will be a part of, and I *will* say something.
Before you start saying they (GRC) no longer provides it, where did you
come up with that information??? http://grc.com/default.htm still has
an announcement prominently offering SpinRite in their top banner.
