Copying a Mac Disk with a Single Drive

It's not masochistic, it's nostalgic :-) I tried to explain to a younger person why I still have an Apple when every disk under the sun has been dumped to image files, and Apple II emulators are 99.99999% perfect. I told him it's because there is a certain flavor of experience that can't be emulated when using the real thing. The noise of the disk drive (*), the long wait times, etc. contribute to the experience. An Apple II emulator which silently loads programs in one second isn't right. (And arcade emulators that don't even make an attempt at reproducing scanlines also irk me.)
