This toolset implements some legacy floppy disk formats as FUSE filesystems to make them easier to work with on a modern system.
Currently only reading of files is supported, the capability to write/change files as well es creating disk images from scratch will be added in the future.
- DOS68: 35 tracks, 18 sectors per track, 128 bytes per sector
- FLEX2: 40 or 80 tracks, 10 sectors per track, 256 bytes per sector
You will need Go installed to compile this. Download the latest version from golang.org.
