A new version of the #FluxEngine GUI for my floppy disk flux-level reader/writer/analyser is out! It's now basically on a hacked-up version of the #ImHex binary editor, and is immeasurably better than the old GUI (i.e. mostly works, as opposed to mostly not working). Binaries are available for Windows and OSX.

(As a reminder, the FluxEngine client doesn't just work with the FluxEngine hardware but with a Greaseweazle or AppleSauce (the last read only). Or standalone.)

I want to like #fluxengine I really do, but I've spent 15 minutes trying to convert a FluxEngine flux file into an SCP so I can feed it to HxCFE, and the interface is so obtuse it makes me want to tear my hair out. #digipres

Hello #digipres, #floppy enthusiasts, and others working with #floppydisks. You can now use an #ApplesauceFDC from a Windows or Linux machine, courtesy of #fluxengine. (I've tested it on my Linux machine, and it works- the FluxEngine software is nice, and also handles the FluxEngine hardware & Greaseweasel if you have those). https://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/applesauce.html
