Retail sales of Uniform are LONG gone. But it was common enough that used
copies will probably show up, and many people have various versions of it.

In addition to the Catweasel, (for which always be VERY clear on whether
you want to make images, or transfer files ("read xxx" is NOT always
clear)), similar hardware capabilities (but not necessarily with software
available) exist in the Central Point Deluxe Option Board.
Tim Mann seems to be THE expert on Catweasel.
And MANY FDC boards (probably including the Compaticard) CAN do single
density (with the right software). Does it use a 37C65 chip?
