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]
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]).
VGA-Copy was popular because it could often read floppy disks with errors. 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.
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)
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).
ImDisk and Virtual Floppy Drive can mount a raw image of a floppy disk to emulate a floppy drive under Microsoft Windows. Nero Burning ROM supports reading IMG files for creating bootable CDs. mtools allows manipulation of MS-DOS floppy disk images in Unix systems. Programs such as dsktrans from the LibDsk [2] suite of command-line tools ...
Virtual Floppy Disk (VFD) is a related file format used by Microsoft Virtual PC, Microsoft Automated Deployment Services and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. [17] [18] [19] A VFD that contains an image of a 720 KB low-density, 1.44 MB high-density or 1.68 MB DMF 3.5-inch floppy disk can be mounted by Virtual PC.
Commodore disk drives expect a tighter synchronization than the Commander can keep under a multi-tasking PC operating system. The best results is therefore obtained by running the Commander under plain DOS. [16] The Trans64 is a program to transfer files between the PC and a C64 floppy drive. Trans64 was developed in 1994–1997 by Bernhard ...
