I use this to test PC floppy drives in read and write operations in an automated way.
- Make sure that a writable floppy is in the drive and the
gw
command is accessible - Run
./test.sh
We currently only test reading and writing 1.44MB IBM formatted floppies, using one image that's full of zeroes save for the filesystem data, and one with a single file full of random data filling the whole disk.
File an issue if you can provide similar images for non-IBM formats, even for 5.25" floppy formats.
