Back in 2005 I imaged both my Mod I and Mod II floppies using my Altair 
and a program I wrote way way wayyyyyy back when for transferring floppy 
images called "XMT".  But I like to image floppies two different ways, 
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.
