Create a Floppy Image
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file, make use of dd. This is one of the original
UNIX utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris,
Linux).
To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You
can use the following command:
dd [ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]
dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0 , and saves the output
in the specified output file /tmp/floppy.image. Adjust both parameters
exactly to your needs (input device etc.)
MS Windows
You can use the tool RawWrite for Windows (it is downloadable in
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/).
From the menu, select the tab Read. Enter (or choose) the name of
the file in which you would like to save the floppy content. Click on the
button Copy to initiate the image creation process.
