SAMDisk v3.3
16 June 2012, 5:00 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 built-in support for zipped and gzipped files
• Added support for repairing 8K sectors with bad CRCs
• Added support for raw hard disk images
• Added identify device data reading, where available (non-USB)
• Added –hdf to force HDF version (10 or 11), with v1.1 now the default
• Added –no-identify to ignore source identify data
• Added –no-cfa to suppress CFA festures in generated identify data
• Enhanced identify to include CHS/LBA28/LBA48 sector counts and CFA
• Enhanced verbose disk list to show serial+firmware and MBR partitions
• Changed disk list to show all devices by default, not just BDOS
• Fixed repairing to blank target tracks, with new density check
• Fixed HDD access beyond 4GB boundary, extended -s range to 2TB
• Fixed SAD image writing with custom sector sizes
• Fixed status messages being written to log and not erased correctly
• Improved FDC integrity checks during sector reads, for suspect hardware
• Improved total sector count to CHS mapping
