20 August 2012, 5:30 pmSAMdisk 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 (http://simonowen.com/fdrawcmd/), a low-level floppy disk driver, installed on your system.
