What is fdutils FOR LINUX?

fdutils

fdutils is a handy package for anyone working with Linux floppy drives. It has all the tools you need for configuring and debugging the Linux floppy driver, plus it can format those extra capacity disks—up to 1992K on high-density disks! Need to send raw commands to the floppy controller? No problem!

Key Features of fdutils

Here are some key features of fdutils:

• superformat: This tool formats high-capacity disks (up to 1992K for high-density disks or even up to 3984K for extra density disks).


• fdmount: Automatically mounts or unmounts disks when they’re inserted or removed. Super convenient!


• xdfcopy: Formats, reads, and writes OS/2's XDF disks.


• MAKEFLOPPIES: Creates floppy devices in /dev, making it easy to manage your drives.


• getfdprm: Prints the current disk geometry like number of sectors, tracks, and heads.


• setfdprm: Lets you set the current disk geometry as needed.


• fdrawcmd: Sends raw commands straight to the floppy driver.


• floppycontrol: A tool for configuring your floppy driver settings.


• User Documentation: General documentation about using the floppy driver is included too!

The Latest Updates

The latest version, 5.0 of fdutils, brought in some cool new changes! Now it has a uniform way of representing floppy formats that both superformat and setfdprm share. These media descriptions are now easier to use because they come as keyword=value pairs!

A Reliable Tool for Formatting

The superformat tool has also improved with a new drive-speed measuring feature. This makes it even more reliable when formatting high-capacity disks. If you're looking to get started with fdutils or want to download this useful package, check out this link: [Download fdutils].
