If you are interested in making an application for SuperCard Pro that works with Mac OS or Linux systems, we would be happy to work with you to make this possible, so please contact us!
I've been looking at direct card support in SAMdisk, initially just for reading, but ultimately for writing of sector-based images too. I have basic reading working through the USB port under Windows, and it shouldn't be too much trouble to have the Mac and Linux versions do the equivalent.
Do you have any recommendations on identifying an SCP board over other FTDI devices? I'm guessing you probably share a device ID. Is the only option to send it a short query (perhaps firmware version) and see if you get the expected response back? Or is there a better approach?
Also, I'm currently reading 2 revolutions starting from an index. I'm finding that the first sector on the first revolution is offset compared to the same sector in the second revolution. Should the start of each revolution be from the same point relative to the start of the index signal? Reading multi-revolution .scp images created by your utility is fine, so I guess I'm doing something wrong somewhere.
