Arjuna is a modular, expandable solution to access floppy disks from many different systems. It supports the Catweasel Controller to read and write formats not compatible with the standard PC controller. Arjuna is written in C++ and uses Qt for it's GUI. The project by Christoph 'Doc Bacardi' Thelen now has it's own homepage and a mirror on our webspace. The first version 0.6beta is available for download there.

Arjuna is a project that reaches very far into the past, digging deep into almost forgotten knowledge about data storage. At the same time it focusses on the future as a universal tool for data restauration and conversion. Hoping to find a lot of developers to contribute floppy disk formats, Christoph is trying to make this a Sourceforge project.

The Windows version of Arjuna needs an updated driver for the Catweasel to work properly. Download this version here (86K, experimental).

In reply to Comment 6 (Don Cox):
@Don
> It came with a stack of drives - 8 inch, 5 inch (2 types), 3.5 inch and 3 inch. The main market was for printing companies, which received documents on a wide variety of disks.

> I think now the market will be librarians and archivists. And retro computing hobbyists, of course.

You wouldn't happen to know the name of this product & company that made it?

@Jens

This would be a market to target for. Maybe you will consider creating an embedded portable turnkey solution (perhaps based on the C1 board), or even a device that can be plugged into a PC/MAC laptop with USB port.
