How do you find the Kryoflux by the way? I've been looking at getting one.
it seems to be an excellent well thought out product, it does seem to be struggling with the quantel disks though but that's not really a fault on the kryoflux side
in it's stream preservation mode it will create what is best described as a bitmap image of the flux changes on the disk. This means you can make a perfect copy of it, whatever it's format. I don't believe any disk imaging tool has done this before.
It can also decode and create binary data images of the disks with profiles detailing FM/MFM encoding, RPM, sector numbers, sizes etc, which create image files like you'd normally expect.
The problem we have with the quantel disks is if you want Kryoflux to do the MFM decoding then it will look for sectors, but the quantel disks are not sectored so it won't give us any data. We're hoping we can tell kryoflux not to do anything fancy and just MFM decode the track(s) for us. I'll have to see what their community says.
It's biggest annoyance to me is it needs Java Runtime if you want to use the GUI
