RecoveryWhiskers 0.6.1 is out.
This is a small service release that makes the config directory put in the XDG config directory, meaning it should work on other platforms that are not Linux.

#RecoveryWhiskers #digipres #floppy #GreaseWeazle

For people going to Gulaschprogrammiernacht , I'm looking for floppies you might have !

I will be able to read 3.5 inch and 5 1/4 inch floppies on site.

I'll take random floppies but you can help me getting support for all kinds of floppy formats in #RecoveryWhiskers if you have some rarer variants:
- 2.88 Mb (ED) floppies
- early 3.5 inch floppies (identify by rounded opening similar to 5 1/4 inch disks)
- 8 inch floppies

Looking for other types as well, but I need hardware and media.

#RecoveryWhiskers 0.6.0 is finally out and it's now available on crates.io!

I tagged 0.6.0-beta5 for #RecoveryWhiskers . This version is basically feature complete for what I want 0.6.0 to be - it has persistent configuration and more documentation.

It may or may not get small fixes for the full release.

0.6.0-beta3 adds configuration to RecoveryWhiskers

You can select the bus type now (per drive!), and it will remember the bus type when you cycle through drives.

It will also remember the last used drive, something that has bugged me for so long now.

I tagged 0.6.0-beta2

https://codeberg.org/JennyFluff/RecoveryWhiskers

Suddenly there is support to read FM data. Hey that means I can finally get those interesting M68000 floppies read that I have here for a couple of months now!

I tagged 0.6.0-beta1.

https://codeberg.org/JennyFluff/RecoveryWhiskers/src/tag/0.6.0-beta1

Lots of stuff is new, a new hardware interface (that will let me implement support with different hardware), the disk reading is now finally done by the DiskReader and better dealing with verifying sectors that have bad post-sector gaps.
And lots of smaller bugfixes.

#RecoveryWhiskers

uhm, okay?

Floppy formatted with 21 sectors per track, but only on the data area.
On the empty space, it's 18 sectors per track..
That's a new one for me and not to FAT spec.

In practice this should read fine as long as you don't try to write data to it with a normal OS.
