A replacement for rare and bad supported Catweasel Controller ? DiscFerret to the rescue ... (derived from simplephpblog file blog\content\12\11\entry121123-190000.txt)
Sometimes a few guys seems to be very innovative.
Because GCR coded (e.g. Apple II floppy diskettes) floppies can't be read from "normal" floppy disk controllers, a special device for reading even exotic floppy disk tracks is needed.
A Catweasel controller is such a hardware, but it's meanwhile old and no longer supported.
Now they developed a new promising piece of hardware : DiscFerret

At the moment, there is only slow progress towards a mass production, but you can get prototype boards. You should remember the URL and visit it again.
