SAMdisk is a tool to convert floppy disks into various disk images which can be used in emulators. It works with almost all PC floppy controllers and supports also some copy-protected formats. It requires that you have fdrawcmd.sys, a low-level floppy disk driver, installed on your system.

You can download the latest version from the SAMdisk website.

• Fixed recognition of DSC/HDR, CFI, LIF disk images
• Fixed floppy image conversion to .raw dump

• Fixed detection of oversized tracks with just 1 sector
• Fixed HDD firmware string missing final character
• Fixed log file including empty status messages
• Fixed AL+ boot sector being mistaken for MBR
• Reverted to Visual Studio 2005 for old CPU compatibility
