If anyone is interested in reading RX02 format with a Catweasel, I've
been down this road. My software for the Catweasel can read and write
these disks. You can download it from my Web page.
If you hate the Catweasel for some reason (I seem to draw hostility when
I post about it here), you're also free to grab my software and adapt it
to other hardware that can sample floppy drive output.
