   Vorpal, if I recall, also came with an alignment disk - I used to have   
   one. The problem is that you can't copy this disk, because then the disk   
   acquires the alignment of the drive that wrote it (but if you copy it on   
   a perfect drive then you're good).   
      
   This guy had some for sale last year:
