... And now it does Speedgraph analysis and peak display too:

That's a partial image of a TRS-80/4 floppy. The logarithmic histogram
shows that there's a good separation between the various timing 'zones',
which means it should be fairly easy to get a good read from this disc.
The scatter plot shows similar gaps between the timing lines, further
emphasising this point.
The three peaks on the histogram suggest MFM coding, with a base time
period of around a microsecond. This gives a data rate of ~250kbps.
Moving onto the scatter plot, you can see what appears to be nine
distinct sectors. The first three are apparently blank (0xFF), with data
in the remaining six.
From the speed graph, the 'cut points' (inter-sector gaps) between the
sectors are even more obvious as fuzzy 'blobs' with large spikes at the
transition points.
So there you have it :)
I'm going to add a few more file formats to the image loader, give the
read tool the ability to actually *write* something, then you can all
have a play with these lovely little toys :)
Cheers,
