Well, yes, OK, but one step at a time. Step 1: a generic USB floppy controller that allows 5¼" and 8" (and other standard Shugart-interface) FDDs to be attached to USB and seen by the OS on the system as floppy drives. That seems to be either coming or here. Step 2: some smart driver software for the above to enable weird disk formats that a standard WD FDD controller could read. Step 3: something very smart that enables weird non-WDD-disk-controller disks (e.g. Mac 400/800 kB and Amiga disks) that were written in fairly standard drives. Step 4 is when you get to all the non-hard-sectored drives and so on... -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
