See kryoflux.com for a USB to floppy drive board that can read most any 3.5"

Sounds like ye olde Mac format.
The software for it is unfortunately currently Windows only and only reads
disks. They're working on write

I'm a little confused ... according to this link, it does not support
Macintosh 400K/800K discs, but rather Apple DOS 400K/800K discs. I
would think it would say MFS or HFS rather than DOS, if it read
Macintosh discs. Though theoretically if it reads GCR, it shouldn't be
that difficult to step thro

In that they are both GCR, yes that is correct. Thanks for the
clarification. I think the confusion is the inclusion of "DOS" in the
Apple description, DOS & ProDOS being the System software for the
Apple II.
The Macintosh 400K disk has 80 tracks (0-79) and divided into 5 groups
of 16 tracks each,

Okay, thanks. I'll ask about this.

Should be easy enough to tell if it images 400/800K Mac disks correctly. Try
mounting the image with the vMac emulator in one of its virtual floppy drives.

I'll try that tonight (GMT). I don't have access to those disks
anymore, but I do have a couple
Yes, mini vMac is the defacto sucessor to VMac, sometimes we get lazy
and drop the "mini", which Paul added to distinguish that mini vMac
doesn't pretend to be a full feature emulator, i.e. serial port & SCSI
interfaces.
Also, I think I may have misunderstood what Kryoflux does based on
some erron
