HamsterWeazle

- ✓ Read, write, erase, and verify floppy disks from one place.
- ✓ Auto Read probes common formats and starts the best full read automatically.
- ✓ Write Queue and Inbox keep repeat jobs and new images within easy reach.
- ✓ HxCFloppyEmulator integration makes disk images browsable without extra juggling.

Mac
Apple Silicon and Intel builds are now available directly from Mean Hamster.
Mac Apple Silicon and Intel v1.5.5 builds are available as complete signed app bundles.
What changed
Mac v1.5.5 restores sidebar history, adds clear controls, and includes the current read-image choices and drive-status improvements.
Windows v1.5.4 adds MFM bitstream images and KryoFlux RAW track sets to READ custom output.
KryoFlux captures automatically use the required per-track naming pattern, such as disk00.0.raw and disk00.1.raw.
MFM output captures raw flux and converts it through HxC, with clear setup guidance when HxC is unavailable.
Automatic Inbox reads remain simple standard .img sector images.
Mac Apple Silicon and Intel downloads are current at v1.5.5.
Supported families
If GreaseWeazle can handle the format, HamsterWeazle is built to make that path easier to live in.
