+dc42wrap was created several years ago to produce open-source
+operating system boot floppies for a PC that couldn't boot from
+CD-ROM, in an environment where the only physically accessible
+machines with floppy disk drives were Apple Macintoshes.
+
+"raw" disk image -> FTP -> dc42wrap
+FTP -> [Macintosh OS 7/8/9] -> physical floppy
+
+When Apple stopped including floppy drives in their hardware,
+this software fell into disuse ... until someone needed to copy
+the contents of an ancient pile of HFS-formatted floppies onto a
+floppy drive-less Macintosh running OS X, and the only physically
+accessible machines with floppy disk drives were PCs running an
+open-source operating system.
+
+Even though Apple now uses NDIF as their preferred disk image
+format, modern software still understands DiskCopy 4.2 files ...
+and OS X will happily mount those old HFS images on the desktop.
+
+physical floppy -> dd -> dc42wrap
+SSH -> [Macintosh OS X] -> mounted filesystem
