Hi folks,
what are the current options for creating your own .woz files from real
floppy disks? AFAICS, you need special hardware. Is it sold anywhere?

Thanks. I guess I'm out of luck, as I only have a //c at home...

No, most of them aren't. It's mostly personal stuff that I have already
turned into disk images several years ago. Let's say I had a Christmas
wish to digitize the disks again into the ultimate format.

There's one exception, though, which is an unpreserved commercial game
(not in English) that I've recently found in a garage in its original
package. It *may* be copy-protected.

For now I plan to build a serial cable (the one I used years ago is
lost) and try to convert it with ADT Pro.
