I got some information now and they say "it accepts DD and HD disks
selectable by jumper" - no specification whether MFM or hard/soft-
sectored.

But I strongly assume it is PC-style only since they say, that
the CF card holds individual files (one per image) which are
a binary representation of the disk content and thus are
either 2x80x18x512 byte in length for HD images. So no luck
with this one for other vintage equipment.

I am still waiting for a quotation and I asked about detection
of "disk change" as required for a drive to work with HP measurement
equipment.

Should be available for purchase according to the company.
