Additional to Stewart's emulator is a Windows/Linux software package to read, write and file-image floppy disks called 'ubeedisk'. Source, Windows image and Linux image files are available from the MicroBee Software Preservation Project Web site.
- Raw Disk Images of Floppy disks: contain a binary copy of a floppy disk. The file size is the same size in bytes as the maximum amount that can be stored on the disk, e.g. 400k, 800k or 1440k. These images can be used with Floppy-Emu, and can be read by emulators.
A floppy disc is a magnetic storage disc used for computers. It was widely used to distribute software, transfer or backup files before early 2000s. Now the floppy drive is replaced by other storage devices, such as compact drives and USB drives. In Windows system, drive A: and B: are reserved for floppy drives, although usually they are not included in current computers.
A floppy disc image file is an exact sector-by-sector copy of the floppy disc. It can be used to create a backup of the floppy disc. In virtual machines, a floppy disc image file can be used to transfers files to or from virtual machine systems. PowerISO can make floppy image from floppy disc, create floppy image file from files in local folders, edit floppy image file, or write floppy image file to a floppy disc.
To make floppy disc image file, please follow the steps,
These are technically just 'Zip' files, a Zip utility will also extract the stored 'IMA' image. Please note that USB floppy drives will only write 720K and 1.44MB floppy disk images. Some USB floppy drives fail to support 720k like they are supposed to. When purchasing a USB floppy drive, make sure it supports 720k low density.
Run PowerISO
Choose 'Tools > Make floppy disk image file' Menu.
PowerISO shows Make floppy disk image file dialog. Choose the floppy driver which holds the disc you want to copy, and enter the output file path name.
Write Bin Files To Floppy Disc
Bin Files Linux
Click 'OK' to start making floppy disk image file. After the operation completes successfully, you can open the floppy image file with PowerISO to browse or view files in the image file.
