Last I tried it, there was only 3.5" .2mg with ProDOS sector ordering
support.  As far as 5.25" goes, he should stick with .NIB support as
David said so eloquently, anything else will be just horrendously hard.

I'd be happy if it could do DOS vs. ProDOS sector order discrimination,
but that's a lot of work. It would be easier to change them with Ciderpress
so you can read them with whatever he is capable of working out.

I would be happy if it just worked like a hard drive, since the IIc would
be the most needed place for it.  A single 32MB image or even two
would be all that's needed on a IIc. Of course, this is coming from a
guy fortunate enough to have several 3.5" Unidisk drives.  Now, if it
was possible to make them Unidisk 1.44MB drives.   LOL
