Now maybe there's a chance to rescue these old utilities from oblivion.

A KryoFlux is nice to have for serious disk recovery work, but I like the Catweasel MK4 too.
If you're not happy with the drivers, try the latest beta set from

I have a bunch that refused to read correctly so they will need to be eaten by my a1200. Maybe a spot of Xcopy and some new blanks will help.

That's very good news, but I didn't actually request that disk image. I just volunteered to help make an image of it.

Thanks! Well, I guess I'll download it all the same.
