Yes, it's pretty simple. You can also just open a COM port associated with the SuperCard Pro's interface (a VCP is generated by the installer) and send the commands through a standard serial port. However, the data transfer using the FTDI interface is much faster because the SuperCard Pro uses a FTDI chip with a parallel FIFO, and that gives you the maximum bandwidth over the USB port.
If someone wants to put together a simple GUI based Visual Studio project in C++ that would be great. I can code C++, but I am not sure how to setup Visual Studio so that Windows and dialog boxes can be setup. I had a really old version of Visual Studio that let me program in C++ and create Windows and tabs, etc. but that is no longer compatible with Windows 10 apparently.
If I had the frame work (including a way to allocate and use several large buffers), I would convert the copiers over to that and then just remove the copiers from the VB code and leave the editor/analyzer and utilities there. I could then add support for all kinds of different disk formats. VB6 was used in the beginning as a proof of concept and sort of just stuck all of these years later.
