A replacement for rare and bad supported Catweasel Controller ? DiscFerret to the rescue ...

Sometimes a few guys seems to be very innovative.
Because GCR coded (e.g. Apple II floppy diskettes) floppies can't be read from "normal" floppy disk controllers, a special device for reading even exotic floppy disk tracks is needed.
A Catweasel controller is such a hardware, but it's meanwhile old and no longer supported.

Now they developed a new promising piece of hardware : DiscFerret



At the moment, there is only slow progress towards a mass production, but you can get prototype boards. You should remember the URL and visit it again.

See http://www.discferret.com/wiki/DiscFerret for more infos.
