Well, *some* way of writing 5.25 media from downloaded images, anyway.
40t 5.25" drives are not particularly common these days, though. Available
for $25 or so via various channels still, it seems, but they're not kicking
around in hardware that's destined for recycling like they once were. I see
the odd 80t drive (once or twice a year) but of course they're useless for
writing 40t media.

As things
sit, I don't even have a PC with a 5-1/4" drive installed, if (and that's
+if+) it were capable of writing discs for the Osborne format.
If you have any
serious intentions of vintage computer collecting, this is
a must have.
