Greaseweazle V4 USB Floppy Adapter ? Flux Reader Writer

Greaseweazle allows versatile control of floppy drives via USB. Read and write your old floppy disks from your PC/Linux/Mac computer. This USB device allows you to connect an old floppy drive to your modern computer to read/write floppies from any system with standard Shugart drives (Amiga, Atari, Commodore, Amstrad, Sinclair, PC, CNC machines, musical instruments, industrial equipment, and more).

By extracting raw stream transitions from a drive, disk formats can be captured and analysed. Greaseweazle also supports writing to floppy diskettes from a variety of image file formats, including those commonly used for online preservation (ADF, IPF, DSK, IMG, HFE, ...).

Greaseweazle V4 is the latest version, updated for mass production and with the following features:

• Reads and writes 3?, 3.5?, 5.25?, 8? floppy disks (with a suitable drive and cable)
• Buffered outputs, to communicate with older 5.25? and 8? floppy disks.
• Integrated power connector for directly powering most 3.5? disk drives
• The write jumper can be removed for safer preservation of valuable old disks.
• Supports 5.25? drives modified for floppy disks
• Supports disk change detection used by Rob Smith's integration in the Amiga emulator WinUAE
• 3 user-defined outputs (e.g. REDWC signal from the 8? interface)
• Factory tested to 100%

This offer is only for the Greaseweazle V4 device. In addition you need:

• A disk drive (e.g. a 3.5? or 5.25? PC drive)
• A floppy disk ribbon cable (normally a standard PC cable with a twist on pins 10-16 is desired, to communicate with a PC floppy disk drive)
• Diskette drive power cable or power supply.
