fdutils

Linux floppy utilities

Description

This package contains utilities for formatting extra capacity disks, automatic floppy disk mounting and unmounting, etc.

The package includes the following items:

- superformat: formats high capacity disks (up to 1992k

for high density disks or up to 3984k for extra density

disks);

- fdmount: automatically mounts/unmounts disks when they are

inserted/removed;

- xdfcopy: formats, reads and writes OS/2's XDF disks;

- MAKEFLOPPIES: creates the floppy devices in /dev;

- getfdprm: prints the current disk geometry (number of

sectors, track and heads etc.);

- setfdprm: sets the current disk geometry;

- fdrawcmd: sends raw commands to the floppy driver;

- floppycontrol: configures the floppy driver;

- general documentation about the floppy driver.

Note that these utilities do not work for USB floppy drives, because these do not allow direct access to the floppy controller.
