A photographer I know contacted me last night asking
about reading Osborne 1 floppies. What does it take to read these?
The only Catweasel board I have is the old Zorro 2 board for the Amiga. I do have 5.25?
floppy drives. Neither of us have an Osborne anymore (I think mine went to Jim Willing).

22Disk running under DOS on PC should read them just fine on a legacy
floppy interface PC.. However if these are FM-encoded floppies (not
MFM), you'll need a controller that understands FM.
There are utilities for testing this capability, see: "TestFDC" here:
