Hi!

I did get CWNS to work reliably to make disk images of NorthStar
disks. It was never really intended to be able to recreate images
since the Dave Dunfield NST program did that already. I suppose it
could be extended to write disks but I never had the need for it.

As of late, I have been focusing on a home brew computing project
which has consumed my hobby time for the last several months. I
offered the CWNS as an open source project on the CCTALK list but it
was in general poorly received. I believe the "classic" computer
community is pre-disposed against the CW for some reason but I am
unsure why. The CWNS files are available on this website if you are
looking for them in the FILES section.

Thanks and have a nice day!
