This sounds like a
Catweasel controller, a device that does in fact read
many custom floppy formats. I know for sure it can read C64/128, which is
my primary interest in it.
The Catweasel shouldn't have any difficulty with GCR (C64, etc.)
A board SIMILAR to it could be easily built that could handle
hard=sectored, but it is not at all clear whether the design decisions of
the Catweasel will permit hard sectored disks.
Have you tried it?
