Hello, thanks for your reply
Bummer. I was hoping that I was simply doing something silly. I saw the .g64 file extension and matched that up with some emulators and assumed at least one would read the supercard output. Perhaps I should have asked that question on here first. What is the g64 output for?
I used to be a games developer primarily on the Sinclair / Amstrad systems and my C64 experience is not as full as on those systems. I'd like to extract the data from the old C64 disks without going to the trouble of making complicated bespoke leads or going overboard on buying equipment that I can only use for really one task.
I chose the supercard as it looked like I could access all disk formats with one device as I also have 3" CPC/+3 disks to read which I will be investigating with the supercard unit although I think I need a little interface/lead of some sort to connect a drive up. Although I suppose I may end up with the same issue of only being able to duplicate but not extract to an emulator.
> This is something that I need to get around to doing.
being a developer myself I know how long these things can take - I have lots of little jobs that are in the 'to do' pile! I'd be very grateful if you could look into this feature though - it would be a very useful addition to the software,
