I've used the FluxEngine to read 3.5 inch, 5.25 inch and 8 inch floppies. I've used the GreasleWeazle to read 5.25 inch floppies so far. I haven't tried either of them to write floppies yet. The main difference in workflow is that the gw software only writes one type of format - SCP, so you will need another tool to convert to raw or a different format, if you can't use scp directly. Currently, the thing I find most interesting right now is that the FluxEngine software can use GreaseWeazle hardware (supposedly for most things) - I haven't tested that yet. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
