Soldered together my own Altair 8800
My code doesn't need to parse the disk images at all, it just seeks to the right location and returns the right number of bytes, just like a hardware floppy drive would do. See lines 164-166 here: https://github.com/barberd/altair-cpm-serialdisk/blob/main/serialdrive/serialdrive.py

Soldered together my own Altair 8800
But, separately, I did write a converter from Altair 137-byte sectors to standard 128-byte sectors to do disk image manipulation with cpmtools, see here: https://github.com/barberd/altair2cpmraw
