Just had the thought after yet another failure to create non-OS disk images under DOS and windoze.
I, and many others, have an Ensoniq Mirage sampling keyboard (of the musical variety, that is), circa 1984 or so. Problem being, the OS floppies are unreadable under DOS and windoze, so you can't make backups, or share image files (non-copyrighted ones) with other people who have acquired one of the old beasts but no disks to go with it.
So, as Linux gives you more direct access to things like floppy drives (correct?), is there an app or method that could be used under DSL to create and write such a disk image, as an exact copy of the disk structure? Would give DSL yet another claim to fame, helping revive dying musical beasts!
PS. The floppies are generally single-sided double-density, sometimes double-sided. Not high-density.
