and it will never be able to =) although they claim something like that, you 
will have a very hard time to find a pc drive mech which can read tracks below 
track 4 on the flipside. you will require the same drive "hack" to read flip 
disks as you will need when working with the catweasel (which works by exactly 
the same principle)

yes, definately. at the very least a 40 tracks/48tpi drive mech is needed 
(which is a bit hard to find for pc). and at the end you will probably find 
out that a good old 1541 still works better, especially for writing disks 
(which are then supposed to get read by a real 1541)
