I have a Micromation Doubler in my CASU Super C (S100
bus CP/M machine).
The Doubler! I forgot about that!! You're right of course, the DD format
for the DOubler was it's downfall, it was built for 128 byte sectors,
period, and being all-hardware wasn't programmable. WD chips killed it I
guess.
From what I rmemeber the single-density (FM)
format is standard, and can
read/write IBM3740 disks. The double density format,
though, is probably
unique to this card. You can
probably do all this in a PC sound card these days!
Not many sound cards will handle 500kHz signals, surely?
