SAMDisk v3.7
6 July 2013, 2:00 pm

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.

Changes:

• Added support for KryoFlux and DiscFerret stream images (MFM+FM)
• Added preliminary support for D4M (FD-4000) disk images
• Added hex output with –hex or -x, with limited hex using –hex-ish
• Added –no-gap4b to ignore gap data after the final sector
• Added –abs-offsets to show absolute rather than relative sector offsets
• Fixed 'extra byte' EDSK extension being used unnecessarily on CRC errors
• Fixed crash during CPC weak sector sniffing due to no-data 4th sector
• Fixed regular image reading reporting transient disk errors
• Improved support for ED images, including 2.88M raw images
• Improved gap reading support for IPF images
• Changed raw track parsing to ignore headers with ID CRC errors
• Changed raw image writing to use only first cyl to determine format
• Relaxed D2M sniffing by removing system partition type (0xff) check
• Reduced gap sync requirement to remove more unwanted gaps
