It does so by automatically doing multiple read retries on errors. Furthermore, VGA-Copy can read floppy images and saves them with the extension .vcp as a 1:1 raw copy of the floppy disk without special headers and formats. A special feature of VGA-Copy is the ability to format floppies with capacities beyond the normal specifications.
HDCopy is a disk image application for floppy disks that runs in MS-DOS.It can copy a floppy on the fly, or by using archives with IMG file extension that store the content of the disk with a proprietary file format (whose first three bytes noted in hexadecimal will be FF 18, and its size will be anything [clarify]).
The KryoFlux controller plugs into a standard USB port, and allows normal PC floppy disk drives to be plugged into it. Because the device operates on data bits at the lowest possible level with very precise timing resolution, it allows modern PCs to read, decode and write floppy disks that use practically any data format or method of copy ...
The floppy disk emulator can provide other systems access to the data on the emulated floppy in a number of ways: Direct access to some dedicated disk partition (e.g.: a 1.44MB partition on a USB key) Floppy file system translation (e.g.: FAT12 floppy ↔ USB key folder) Floppy disk images (e.g.: raw floppy ↔ .img/.iso USB key file)
The Ultimate Boot CD contains freeware and open-source diagnostic tools from a variety of sources. Many of these tools were originally designed to boot from a floppy disk drive. The Ultimate Boot CD made it possible to run them on a PC without a floppy drive. [5] UBCD can also run from USB for computers without an optical drive. [5]
Distribution Media Format (DMF) is a format for floppy disks that Microsoft used to distribute software. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It allowed the disk to contain 1680 KiB of data on a 3 1 ⁄ 2 -inch disk, instead of the standard 1440 KiB .
Zip drive (floppy-like, but incompatible medium using different technology) PocketZip (floppy-like, but incompatible medium using different technology) SuperDisk (floppy-like with drives also compatible with 3.5" floppy disks) Magneto-optical drive (floppy-like, but incompatible medium using different technology)
HxD is a freeware hex editor, disk editor, and memory editor developed by Maël Hörz for Windows. It can open files larger than 4 GiB and open and edit the raw contents of disk drives, as well as display and edit the memory used by running processes. Among other features, it can calculate various checksums, compare files, or shred files. [1]
