A very kind subscriber to my YouTube channel donated a Kryoflux. It hasn't yet arrived, but I am now thinking about how best to use it to make archives of Mac 400K and 800K disks. One thing I see in YouTube videos on the subject is that everybody is using some kind of PC floppy drive with it. It seems those floppy drives have a very wide ribbon cable, which appears to be what the Kryoflux requires. I assume this means it is totally impossible to connect a vintage Macintosh 400K or 800K drive to the Kryoflux? I do have a more modern USB floppy drive, but I'm not sure if that would be compatible.
Another very weird thing is that the Mac OSX installer talks about a *.jar (JAVA) file that isn't actually installed:
Wherefore art thou, "kryoflux_ui.jar"? I don't even know where to separately download that JAR. Obviously, being a Mac user, I am more keen on using the GUI than Terminal commands. Surely there must be at least one Kryoflux owner among us who would know?
Thank you!
