So, bottom line, if I find a floppy card that appears to conform to one of
the favorable ones on that list from comp.os.cpm, stick it in a PC and use
something like 22DISK, I should be able to make a physical backup of a TRS-80
disk? Is there some other piece of software I should use? Unless Teledisk
will produce an uncompressed image, it won't help me. I can process the disk
images once I get them onto the hard drive, that's the easy part.
