The IWM is incredibly flexible and can read any disk that will fit in
the drive, given the correct driving software.  I have designed (but
never taken the time to implement) an Apple ][ program that reads
North*Star disks, and they're even hard-sectored, which means the
software has to guess where the sector holes are (it's not that hard).

I am interested in doing this sort of thing for the Mac as well, and
would love to talk with anyone who shares this interest.  Anyone have
specs/schematics for the drive interface, or any of the Mac hardware?
