I warned you about modern open-source, didn't I? I'm surprised that nobody suggested the Catweasel line. Probably one of the first, if not the first, transition recorder generally available. Ranges from the Mark I, which is an ISA device to the Mark 4, which is PCI. Long out of production--I suspect that Jens decided that he had to move on. Software for that was always open-source, yet nobody seems to remember it. I suspect that greasweazle appeals because it's cheap. There's also Kyroflux, DeviceSide, FluxEngine...using MCU based designs. The idea's the same. What I'm a bit surprised about is that there has been no emulation of a generic floppy controller offered. It can't be that complex; if I recall correctly the NEC 765 only used 1100 words of microcode. --Chuck
