Out of the ether, Rob spewed forth the following bitstream: > dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/me/floppy.img A bit faster: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/me/floppy.img bs=18k > Remove master floppy from drive and place blank in drive > > dd if=/home/me/floppy.img of=/dev/fd0 And: dd if=/home/me/floppy.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k 18k is one "track" so you end up reading 80 bufferable tracks, not 1.4MB, one byte at a time.
