well, ideally I didn't want to build more hardware... If it was
possible with either my old speeddos drives (and a C64) or with raw
data coming from the greaseweazle it would be perfect. Making more
tools would be ok if absolutely necessary. I think the data I need is
already "inside" any raw flux file I can make with the greaseweazle, I
just need one more software tool to extract it. Of course I could
"simply" study one raw flux file format and make my own byte dumper,
but I figured out that it probably already exists.

Best regards
Frank
