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]
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).
A bit nibbler, or nibbler, is a computer software program designed to copy data from a floppy disk one bit at a time. It functions at a very low level directly interacting with the disk drive hardware to override a copy protection scheme that the floppy disk's data may be stored in. In most cases the nibbler software still analyses the data on ...
Rob Northen Copylock (also known simply as Copylock) is a copy-protection system designed to prevent disk duplication with standard floppy disk drives on the Amiga, Atari ST, and IBM PC compatibles. It was created by British programmer Rob Northen after founding his own company Copylock Software. It was used mainly to prevent games from being ...
An internal floppy drive and controller are required as well; USB floppy drives operate strictly at the file system level and do not allow low-level disk access. [9] The WD1770 controller chip, however, was the seat of some early problems with 1581 drives when the first production runs were recalled due to a high failure rate; the problem was ...
Learn how to download and install or uninstall the Desktop Gold software and if your computer meets the system requirements.
FlashPath is hardware compatible with all standard 3.5" High-Density Floppy disk drives, but is not a drop-in replacement for real floppy disks. A special software device driver must be installed on the computer that is to access data via FlashPath. Thus, FlashPath is only usable with computers and operating systems for which such a driver ...
KolibriOS is small sized and fits on a single 3.5" floppy disk; despite this, it features a full graphical user interface, preemptive multitasking, networking capabilities, and many pieces of bundled software. The name "Kolibri" is the Russian word for hummingbird (Колибри) and symbolizes the operating system's tiny size and fast speed.
