DiscFerret found a new home.

Hi Everyone, The DiscFerret found a new home. I did get some questions on its usefulness, which I would address here. Indeed the software developed for it is limited to a driver and some analytical tools. But it uses the same format for flux-intervals as the CatWeasel, at different (higher) clock rates. So any open source CatWeasel program is easy to adapt to the DiscFerret. Using the provided MagPie dump program I managed to adapted Tim Mann's cw2dmk program for the CatWeasel to dfi-files (https://fjkraan.home.xs4all.nl/comp/divcomp/discferret/). Of course this only does FM, MFM and variants (DEC and Intel), but demonstrate its usefulness for archiving. It is too bad production stopped and the writing image software never materialized. BTW, reading floppy disk rate flux-changes can reliably be read with modern ~100 MHz micro-controller. Several are commercial available. AFAIK not open source. Greetings, Fred Jan
