I made a copy of the flux with the #greaseweazle, then converted it to ibm.1200. All 15 sectors were correctly read, though it "ignored an unexpected sector" between each track.

Vielleicht habe ich gerade wieder ein wenig #geweazled 🤗

Alle 8 Disketten waren noch in Ordnung und konnten fehlerfrei ausgelesen werden.

Das freut mich besonders, denn das Spiel, wollte ich noch einmal starten und im Herbst/Winder durchspielen!

I'm still filling in the gaps in my retro library. Today, I received this beautiful, standalone version of "Oh No! More Lemmings" for the IBM-PC. From 1991. I only payed 3.50€ for this game on eBay, since noone else wanted it. It's almost a bit sad. 🥺

Have fun playing! 😉

An meine Mönchengladbacher/Korschenboicher/Büttgener/Neusser-Bubble.

Wer noch 3,5 Zoll Originaldisketten von „historischer“ Software sein Eigen nennt, die erhalten werden muss/soll, kann mir diese gerne zum #GreaseWeazle(n) geben. > PM

Ich erstelle dann gerne für euch SCP-Images der Disketten.

⚠️ Es geht hier ausdrücklich nur um den Erhalt der alten Originalprogramme, nicht um Raubkopien! Ich erstelle für euch lediglich die Diskimages und stelle (nur dem, von dem ich die Originaldisketten bekommen habe) euch diese anschl. zur Archivierung zur Verfügung. ☝🏻

An interesting innovation from Mitsumi: eliminating the problem of not being able to plug in your floppy cable because of that annoying notch in the way

(One of several issues I had using my #GreaseWeazle today. I still need to figure out why the board isn't adequately powering the drive any more.)

Ich hatte gestern noch ein paar Experimente mit neuen 3,5 Zoll Laufwerken gemacht und konnte einen deutschsprachigen Satz Windows 3.1 Disketten neu und vollständig per Greaseweazle auslesen. Die Datenträger stammen vom 4. August 1993.

Looks like Greaseweazle is also quite comfortable, reading these 1.68MB DMF disks with their 21 sectors per track. This is just beautiful! 😎 :computerfairies:

Even though Greaseweazle reads this Amiga disk of "Space Quest" without any issues with 100% valid sectors, there's still an on-disk copy protection scheme hidden inside there. I just ran into a crash trying to boot from the simple 880K ADF Amiga DOS disk image. 🥺

Fortunately, using a CT-RAW disk image, made from the .raw streams, worked just fine and started the game. 😉

I got my hands on another brand-new 3.5inch disk drive. The ALPS DF354H148F from 2003 just did a perfect job, reading IBM-PC, Mac 800K and Amiga 880K diskettes. Using a Greaseweazle V4.1 and/or KryoFlux board.

I might make a real effort to clean some of the hundreds of decades old floppies I have and I have printed various tools to help do that. But I’ll have to be ready to clean drive heads a lot to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

Amazing how many floppies look outwardly ok, but fail to read and then the drive isn’t reading known good ones moments later. Bigger risk is fouling the NOS disks if I’m not careful with things. Maybe too risky.

Well, here’s hoping these are all in good shape, because they may be the last reliable, still sealed NOS DS/DD floppies I obtain. Goes nicely with the similar twenty NOS 5.25” ones I bought a while back that have been a boon to my #greaseweazle / various retro machine projects.

With GoTek, Pi1541 and similar tools, there is clearly less need, but I still want functional drives for the full experience much of the time. Tired of toxic disks fouling heads.

Hab grad mein SONY MPF 920 nochmal mit viel Mühe geputzt und dann erfolgreich mit Greaseweazle getestet.

Das Ding sieht eigentlich aus wie ein ganz normales, langweiliges 3,5 Zoll Diskettenlaufwerk, läuft aber im Unterschied zu den allermeisten Modellen mit 360rpm, statt mit den sonst üblichen 300rpm. War wohl einer der letzten Laufwerke, die 2009 nochmal was innovatives für Disketten umgesetzt hatten.

Oh, well.. I'd say the project of getting a Greaseweazle controller to complement the KryoFlux board was pretty much a success! On this first day alone, I generated over 600MB of fresh raw flux streams from physical floppy disks. I dumped all sorts of diskettes for IBM-PC and Amiga. 360K, 720K, 880K, 1.200K and 1.440K, mostly without any hiccups.

Also, "sharing is caring". I do care. 😉

Looks like Greaseweazle, controlled by the latest DiskImageTool GUI, has no issues working with 5.25" 360K floppy disks. I had to put some work into cleaning the 40-track disk drive, but as soon as that worked, everything went smoothly! 😍

Okay, das ist echt ein Vorteil vom Greaseweazle im Vergleich zum KryoFlux: Das Ding funktioniert A) schon mit USB-C und liefert B) tatsächlich selbst den Strom zum Betrieb von zumindest den 3,5 Zoll Laufwerken. Damit spart man sich den eigenen Stromanschluss für das Laufwerk und kann das Setup so viel einfacher auch auf den Schreibtisch legen. Find ich extrem nice! 😎
