Considering the sheer amount of storage media and devices out there, the Floppy disk has become obsolete in the 21st century. This is the main reason why you do not even get a Floppy disk incorporated within the modern computers. Nevertheless, you may have some Floppy disks with important data or programs that you may want to access on modern computers, case in which you can turn to specialized apps.

SAMdisk is a tiny utility designed to help you transfer data from Floppy to image disks. It is worth mentioning that the app is capable of reading and writing almost any Floppy disk format compatible with the Floppy controller, including the copy-protected ones.

It is important to note that you need to make sure that the BIOS Floppy drive type is set correctly before you get started. If you cannot find the exact drive type, the developer recommends that you use the closest available. In the eventuality that you proceed with a setting that is not 1.44 or closer type, then keep in mind that this can reduce the head stepping rate. Moreover, it can lead to avoiding missed pulses and disable the use of the disk-change line. This is especially necessary for older Floppy disk units.
