may I ask...
I've never used a Catweasel or any other disk archiving h/w. Only Teledisk, Imagedisk,
etc. What I have learned is that w/some disks, after the first "read", which
could simply be a directory scan, the disk is summarily unreadable. In such an instance
(or any other weird case), what benefit would said h/w provide? If the magnetism is all
used up, what hope is there of ever recovering the data? Of course only a fool would do
anything except pop the disk in and immediately sick ID, TD, ?... on it, that's what
I've learned to do anyway.

are any hard disk adapters in the queue?
The current batch of hard disc adapters are prototypes
(built on Veroboard...!). I'm planning to spend this
afternoon bringing the schematic into EAGLE and drawing up a
PCB design. All being well I should be able to make a couple
of those using my home PCB fab line.
(I can't do PTH, but single-sided no-solder-mask is a
snap!)
