Description:
Greaseweazle is a set of tools for accessing a floppy drive at the raw flux level. This allows reading and writing of raw flux data, as well as conversion between various floppy disk image formats. It supports a wide range of floppy disk formats including IBM, Amiga, Commodore 64, Apple, and Macintosh. The "gw" command-line tool communicates with a Greaseweazle USB device to read, write, and manipulate floppy disks at a level below the normal operating system disk interface.
