copy floppy to an image file:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=myfloppy.img

copy image to a floppy:
dd if=myfloppy.img of=/dev/fd0

this assumes an already formated floppy (doesnt matter if its blank or
not, it gets overwritten)


wow, its been such a long time since ive even tried to use a floppy for
anything :)
