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.

Message after installing

Greaseweazle devices require firmware with CLEAR_FEATURE(ENDPOINT_HALT)
support to work reliably on FreeBSD. Without this fix, the device will
stop responding after the first use until physically unplugged.

See https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle-firmware/pull/18
This fix may be included in firmware version 1.7 or later.

Update your device firmware with: gw update
