Bit copy floppy

Comment:

Hi. I was trying to do a exact copy of a floppy. I used anadisk, fda, dd(under linux), but I can't obtain a really bit copy floppy. Somebody knows to do a real copy of a floppy??? Do i need a special device to obtain it?

Have you tried the dos command(s) DISKCOPY/DISKCOMPARE. Surely these do what you require. If not, as a matter of interest please advise why. You could also try downloading VGACOPY. This is a useful utility that creates a single file containg the image of a floppy and vice versa. Good Luck - Keep us posted.
