Floppy Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file, make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX
utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, and
Linux).
To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You
can use the following command:
dd [ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]
dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0, and saves the output in
the specified output file /tmp/floppy.image. Adjust both parameters exactly
to your needs (input device etc.)
MS Windows
You can use the tool “Raw Write for Windows”. It is included on the CD
ROM shipped with IP-KVM.
Figure 4-12 RawWrite for Windows selection dialog
From the menu, select the tab “Read”. Enter (or choose) the name of the
file in which you would like to save the floppy content. Click on the button
“Copy” to initiate the image creation process.
