I recently acquired a Model I with expansion interface and disk drive, and the only way I could make a disk was to put a 5.25" in a PC (which I just happened to buy a 360k floppy drive at a garage sale a couple months back). But the Model I has an audio based cassette interface and I can send software over by plugging it into the audio jacks on another computer. That's pretty much all that would be needed to bootstrap it.

That would be pretty cool. If you write it, I'll be a beta tester... ;)
