Version 2.1 of my Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools (cw2dmk and dmk2cw)
is now available at
http://www.tim-mann.org/trs80resources.html. This
release adds some heuristics to cw2dmk to produce cleaner output files
and to autodetect RX02 encoding.
Standard blurb on the tools:
The Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools are software for the Catweasel ISA
universal floppy disk controller. cw2dmk will read several kinds of floppy
disk, some of which ordinary PC controllers have trouble with, and save
them in the DMK disk image format. (DMK is a format used by the Unix TRS-80
emulator xtrs and by David Keil's TRS-80 emulator for MS-DOS.) cw2dmk
does not just read TRS-80 disks; it can handle (at least) any disk written
using a Western Digital 177x/179x floppy disk controller, a PC-style
NEC765-compatible controller, or a Digital Equipment Corporation RX02
controller. dmk2cw will write any DMK image back to a real floppy disk,
and handles the same kinds of disks as cw2dmk. The tools run on both Linux
and MS-DOS. Source code is included under the GPL.
