Feb 7th, 2016 - Antoine Vignau and Olivier Zardini, founders of Brutal Deluxe Software, are happy to introduce their newest software to the Apple II community.

“You, DustHead!” (now at v1.1) is Brutal Deluxe's third answer to nowadays preservation of 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes on the Apple II. Cleaning your disk drive(s) head(s) is mandatory to do. We hope this will help preserving 5.25" and 3.5" disks (Hi 4am).
