I finally got an 8-inch floppy drive connected to a PC

tdcheck says it's an 82 track 3.5-inch floppy image. That's seems
odd.

Anyone know for sure if I should be able to use Teledisk to write this
image directly to an 8-inch floppy? Or would I need to do something
like write the image to a 3.5 inch floppy and then use ImageDisk to
read that floppy and write it to the 8-inch floppy?

I ran into this file a few years back and wasn't able to do much with it. I
later created my own Altos floppy images using both Teledisk and Imagedisk.
I'll send them to you offlist for you to try out.
