Yeah, honestly... I'm sure Disk2FDI has been a lifesaver for somebody, but its annoying how limited the demo version is (pretty much to the point of uselessness) and the documentation is pretty terrible. (Some of its advanced usage scenarios require special cabling, the use of *two* floppy drives, etc., and it's not really obvious when that applies. I fiddled with it years and years ago to try to read some single-density Tandy disks and ended up not particularly satisfied.)

As to IIe verses IIc or IIgs, well... the latter two have built-in serial ports so really they're probably *slightly* superior ADTPro machines than a IIe minus a Super Serial card, but it is nonetheless pretty darn cool that it works on the old cassette port. Part of me is itching to write a similar program for bare-metal disk imaging on old Tandy machines. (The III and IV aren't really a problem if you can scrape up a 360k floppy drive, although those are starting to get rare, but the Model I is trickier.)
