Back in 2005 I imaged both my Mod I and Mod II floppies using my Altair

and the Greaseweazle cannot (yet) deal with hard sectoring.
Of course, I could also use my catweasel with these drives directly -
but kind of a pain to do.

I believe that I used an MPI 100 tpi drive when I processed the Vector 4
images. Came off without a hitch using a Catweasel.
Raw decoded image was about 600K.
One of the first jobs was to decode the memorite disk itself.
Here's the disk image dump, if you're curious.

I have successfully read a couple of Mod I disks
(143KB).? But some
have not read very well.
I played with one when they came out. The software wasn't ready for
prime time.
I had hoped it had gotten better since then. Even something basic like
^C out of a transfer
locked the board up.
