Does anybody have any experience using Disk2FDI or Catweasel?
Both products claim they can make disk images from a 400K & 800K GCR floppy, Catweasel claims to even be able to do it with a standard 1.44MB MFM HD drive. An E-Maculation thread suggests Disk2FDI needs the real deal.
Of interest to me is the Disk2FDI which does not require any special hardware. It requires A Pentium® processor or better and A free parallel port, preferably from a dedicated PCI parallel port card. Would this run under an Intel Mac? If so, how would one get a Parallel port onto the Mac? A Keyspan adapter?
However, the Catweasel might work on a PowerMac/Mac Pro with a PCI card slot. But that one seems like a lot more effort than just buying a Mac Plus.
