Re: [vcf-midatlantic] vcf-midatlantic Digest, Vol 32, Issue 10
Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Museum Report 2021-01-10 Hi all, VCF owns an Applesauce floppy disk imager that was donated by John Keoni Morris. Over the past 2 years Tony and I tested it and got two 5.25" Disk II drives to work well with it (replacing the MC3470 amplifiers). It is a deluxe unit, so we also have an Apple 3.5" drive attached. We installed the sync sensors in the Disk II drives so it can create full flux images of GCR floppy disks in A2R and WOZ formats. Unprotected disks can be imaged to DSK or PO using the Fast Disk Imager. The latest version of the software can also create Commodore D64 and Atari image files for emulators. We were also able to image Lisa and Mac 3.5 disks. Yesterday I set up the unit on the Mac Mini in the museum, so it is available for use by anyone who has floppy disks that need to be imaged for preservation.

Awesome Eric! Thanks so much for doing this. We have talked about a disk imaging station for years and it is finally getting done because of volunteers like you. So much good stuff happening these days in the group!
Thanks, Eric Rangell

Thanks much, Eric! I used the Applesauce at KFest, last year, and was very impressed. - Alex On Mon, Jan 11, 2021 at 4:54 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
