For all you CP/M folks that use 22DISK, Teledisk, Imagedisk. and cpmtools (w/libdsk) to
access Images of your various Floppy's there is another way you can now write an image
back to floppy that has a Single Density Track 0 with the remaining tracks Double Density.
What you will need is a way to convert the *.TD0 and *.IMD files to *.SCP files. A .SCP
file can also created by reading the floppy with a Supercard Pro. If you already have a
converted *.SCP file, then you just need a GreaseWeazle, and the appropriate Floppy
Drive that can write the complete *.SCP Image. A 48 TPI or 96 TPI (40 or 80 Track drive)
must be used that can also support Side0 & Side1 (if used), Single Density or Double Density,
3.5", 5.25", or 8".
The Original (.TD0, *.IMD) Image can be processed with HXCFE or HXCFLOPPYEMULATOR.
These software packages are available for Windows, MAC, and Linux. The current subversion
package is ver 1904 as of Dec 2019.
There are instructions on the Debian Forum for Building on Debian 9.x (Stretch) for a 64 Bit
system. The build has been automated enough so it should be very easy to compile. These
instructions should also apply for anyone running Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi.

More information on GreaseWeazle can be located at the following URL's.

There is also a GROUP located on Facebook with lots of additional information.
NOTE:
I'm currently waiting on some PCB's for the Adapter Interface to Floppy to start testing
on real systems.
Thanks.
