Preserving and exploring Intellec MDS floppy disks

[gotcha]

There were 2 sectors with a header but without data in the initial IMD image (issue with the dump).
This is not supported by isis.py.

After repairing these 2 sectors, I managed to read the directory with the iss.py script provided by Lary.

I guess I have a flow to process ISIS floppies now.
Thanks for your help !

Glad you have it working, and glad to help when I can.

Doing more experiments yesterday, I noticed that flux2imd also works with SCP raw files as input.
We then don't have to use the Kryoflux per-track files and put them in a zip file.
This simplifies my flow since I usually generate SCP files with the Greaseweazle.

flux2imd.exe -f M2FM8-INTEL intellec-copie-emulateurs.scp
