"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.
