Creating and Restoring Floppy Images
You can create image files of existing floppies or vice versa using one of following programs:
Most ZIP files listed here contain self-extracting EXE files that when executed will create the corresponding floppy disk (Ref, Diags, etc.).
Use the following syntax to run the executable:
filename.exe a:
Where "a:" is the letter of the target floppy drive.
Files with the LZH extension are compressed using the LZH algorithm. To extract them use LHA.exe or some modern alternative.
Disclaimer: Some of the files on this page were not tested! Use them at your own responsibility!
