       | Earlier today there was discussion of the FluxEngine[1], due to
       | it's newly added Mac 800k disk read/support (OK, it had read for
       | a while, but now it can both read _and_ write).
       | 
       | What I love about the FluxEngine is that it is so simple - no
       | custom PCBs, just a single PSOC development board with a single
       | set of soldered header pins.
       | 
       | Not saying that the other alternatives are bad - it's great to
       | have competition. For several years it seemed that KryoFlux would
       | be the sole dominant USB floppy controller, nice to see there's a
       | range of options available.
       | 
       | Edit: seems as though FluxEngine may gain support for using
       | GreaseWeazle hardware[2] at some point, which would be neat!
