I wonder if AppleSauce's flux imaging could be used to create alignment diskettes? I have a Dymek 360k alignment disk and I have flux-imaged it successfully with AppleSauce, but the software won't allow me to write a disk with the image. It might just be the software not seeing any recognizable disk format preventing the writes, though.

It would be great to be able to recreate these rare beasts.

No. Manufacturer’s alignment disks are recorded with analog signals,
requiring special head drive circuitry.

I asked the same thing a while back. And they are the weirdest disks I have ever Fluxed. :)
