How about writing it in verilog and loading it into an FPGA?


That's pretty much what I had in mind when asking the group if anyone still needs it. An FPGA is a gross overkill for it, but a small CPLD like 95XL36 will do the trick. It's just not quite clear to me the card can still be useful.

All it does is it captures raw bits so that an FF written at 36 or 40 cycles is easy to distinguish from a regular FF. Will it help a lot to convert protected floppies to images, assuming there still are uncracked protected floppies out there?
