RaWrite2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RAWRITE2 is a floppy image file writer/creator distributed under version 2.0 of the GNU General Public License.

It can be used to create raw image files from a floppy, and write such image files to a floppy. RAWRITE2 supports not only standard formats (360KB, 720KB or 1.44 MB) but a lot more: all floppy disk formats and 2m formats, or any other given number of tracks and sectors.

It runs under DOS 3.2 or later.
