Cipher 525 support?
Cipher 525 support?
Is there any chance the Kryoflux could be made to support imaging Cipher 525 tapes? The 525 is a tape drive (using DC600A-type cartridges) that uses a floppy interface. One of six streams is selected by a combination of the drive-select and side lines, and each streams consists of 256 sections of tape that emulate a floppy disk's tracks. Encoding can be FM or MFM. Timing and other information is in this document: http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttga ... _Nov84.pdf
Re: Cipher 525 support?
Unless the data rate coming off the tape is too fast, this might be possible. However, this would need considerable development time and would not come for free. Is this a private or commercial request?
