Where to discuss floppy recognition and salvation?

Hi, I got an greaseweazle and got a zenith gw-basic 3.2 5¼" floppy disk, which I cannot image with gw --format ibm.scan.
But I can save an SCP image. Although I cannot achieve to process a mountable image. file shows only data on export IMG and hexdump -C -n512 shows SCP in the beginning of the header.

I'm not sure how to determine the format of the floppy, to get the data.

I do not have a gotek or a HxC floppy emulator or the like.

I'm currently only like to archive images in IMG/IMA, IMD and HFE file format.

I already was able to successfully archive the two Zenith OEM MS-DOS 3.20 floppies.
In the beginning I had a lot of bad sectors with a Panasonic JU475-4 1.2M floppy drive. I then got a smooth flawless image by exchange the drive with a teac fd55bv-16-u 360k floppy drive.

But I still struggle with the GW basic disk.

It sounds like you're facing a tricky situation trying to image that Zenith GW-BASIC floppy! It's frustrating when standard tools don't cooperate. If you're looking for solutions, perhaps breaking down the problem into smaller steps could help. Have you considered using a disk analysis tool to try and identify the specific low-level format? Sometimes a bit of creative thinking is needed, much like when you're trying to solve a particularly challenging Wordle Unlimited puzzle. Finding the right pattern is key. Good luck!
