yesssss!
now, how do I easiest make backup of floppy disks?
I have like 800 of them (many 1.72MB formatted) that wants me to
copy their files onto a dvd ...
are there an easy solution (for linux) that both copy the files with each floppy in its own directory named after the floppys label, and also make an disk image file of it (without having to read the floppy twice), that just beeps when it is time to insert next floppy so I can work on other things and don't have to switch to another window to press a key?
ideally it should make a logfile of which floppies/files that had badsectors (but it should ofcourse still copy the files at its best, and make a disk image), so I could perhaps try read those floppies with some other program or computer later.
