    Doesnt the Dbit fadap do that for me? This video by Texelec has it connected as a 1.2MB floppy direct to a pc. I think before I can find faults I need to determine if I am connecting this up correctly.

    Could very well be my problem. My settings with the kryoflux and greaseweazle are all wrong.

    Need some info on this Digitech model 710 protocol analyzer

    Well apparently this company was based out of ridgefield CT. Not too far from where I live. The name now seems to make alot of Guitar related pedals. Not sure if its the same company.

    Ill just use the fadap as I already own it regardless of whether it does anything. Im sure a cable would work, but for what I have on hand its fine.
