Note that although my crude IMD routine does unpack different disk sectors in the right order, it ignores head and track mapping blocks (just skips over them) and assumes that the cylinder and head are written in the correct order.  If you find any disks that do not provide the same output as IMDU.COM (check with md5sum) please file a bug on github.

Okay, there's now a utility there called "unimd" which extracts a given IMD file into a bin file.

Be careful with it, and don't use it on the only copy of something you can't replace.  Do let me know how you get on.
