Maybe this is a cannon, where all you need is a hand gun:

http://www.discferret.com/wiki/DiscFerret

\begin{cite}
DiscFerret is a combination of hardware and software that allows a
standard desktop computer to read, analyse and decode the data on just
about any floppy disc, and some MFM and RLL hard disc drives. This
includes standard formats like PC DOS, but also more unusual formats
like AmigaDOS and the Intel MDS M2FM format. Imaging is performed at
the lowest possible level -- that of magnetic transitions, which allows
everything which can be represented on-disc to be imaged.

The source code and CAD files for the DiscFerret design are completely
open-sourced: the hardware and software are released under the GNU GPL
(in the case of the board, microcode, and firmware) or the Apache
Public Licence (in the case of the API).
