Flux files. They are a raw dump of the magnetic flux off of the floppy. From there you can make a compressed floppy image, for c64 it would be a ".d64".
So you dump these directly to a hard drive? I'd love to read a post on how you do all that. If you have time to write one up.
I should, when we were doing it it was all custom electronics and coding. Now however there are cards you pop into a PC and it takes whatever adapter for everything primarily the That thing is the Cadillac of flux imaging.
This is a whole world of stuff I always wondered about but never broke into. That device looks like it would be bad ass for imaging floppys I wish I had known about it years ago. I would have saved some old floppys I had of mac games from the OS 6 days
