Old install floppies.
a lot of those old install floppies have propriatary formatting
which can make it hard to make a back up while the disks are
still good.
i have had some success using spinwrite and then using the linux
disk duplicator - dd - to make a disk image to store on a cd or the
harddrive. later it can be copied back to a floppy.
it is my understanding that one can actually mount a disk image that is on
a harddrive as a floppy drive under Freedos but someone needs to write
up a more detailed set of instructions for me to actually accomplish this.
