<balrog> does anyone here still have a Discferret board?
<pjustice> yes
<balrog> pjustice: we're thinking of surveying all the people who got one
<balrog> at this point there are two active projects to make an open source, well supported disk reader/writer: Greaseweazle ($20, https://github.com/keirf/Greaseweazle), and Pauline (probably $200-$250 total, https://sourceforge.net/p/hxcfloppyemu/code/HEAD/tree/HxCFloppyEmulator/Pauline / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZiyms6lo4U)
<pjustice> Anyone tested the greaseweazle with 8" drives?
