Mtools is an open source collection of utilities to allow a Unix operating system to manipulate files on an MS-DOS file system, typically a floppy disk or floppy disk image. [2] [3] The mtools are part of the GNU Project and are released under the GNU General Public License (GPL-3.0-or-later).
The file size of a raw disk image is always a multiple of the sector size. For floppy disks and hard drives this size is typically 512 bytes (but other sizes such as 128 and 1024 exist). More precisely, the file size of a raw disk image of a magnetic disk corresponds to: Cylinders × Heads × (Sectors per track) × (Sector size)
Drive Image 1.0 was released in September 1997. [1] Drive Image 2002 (version 6) is the last release that allows the creation of a rescue set on floppy disk, which can be used to create and restore an image. Drive Image version 7 was the last version published under the PowerQuest corporate brand.
SystemRescueCD (at the first prompt select "Run system tools from floppy disk image" (version 1.6.0)). As of version 2.8.1 and above SystemRescueCD does not include RPM anymore. RPM can be installed to a floppy disk from the TUI (it does not require use of the command line as is required to save a text file of the partition table).
The Disk Masher System (.dms) is an often used method on the Amiga, to create a compressed image of a disk (usually floppy). The disk is read block-by-block, and thus its data structure is maintained. DMS won approval particularly in the demo scene and the Warez scene, since with this tool, disk images could generally be transferred easily with ...
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]). For the proprietary file ...
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)
KryoFlux consists of a small hardware device, [4] [5] which is a software-programmable FDC system that runs on small ARM-based devices that connects to a floppy disk drive and a host PC over USB, and software for accessing the device. KryoFlux reads "flux transitions" from floppy disks at a very fine resolution. [6]
