GreaseWeazle GUI for modern archiving
HamsterWeazle
HamsterWeazle gives GreaseWeazle a friendlier home: clean imaging workflows, smarter auto-detection, and fewer command-line detours when you just want to rescue disks and get back to the fun part.
- โ Read, write, erase, and verify floppy disks from one place.
- โ Auto Read probes common formats and starts the best full read automatically.
- โ Write Queue and Inbox keep repeat jobs and new images within easy reach.
- โ HxCFloppyEmulator integration makes disk images browsable without extra juggling.
