Be aware that you will also need a different controller, or some minor 
modifications.

PC controllers normally support 250,000 bits per second ("360K", "720K"),
and 500,000 bits per second ("1.2M, "1.4M")
SOMETIMES 125,000 bits per second for 5.25" SD/FM.

2.8M runs at 1,000,000 bits per second.

Such controllers exist, but are not very common.


Can Catweasel/kryoflux handle that data transfer rate?
