I know people seemed kind of turned off by the idea of GOTEK floppy disk

but you do realize if you actually have the machine you are wanting to
make disks for
the GOTEK is a great way to do it. Put a GOTEK and a real drive on the
machine and just
use backup. Then, for the purists, take the GOTEK back off and hide it
in a drawer.
This - a gotek and an original-format floppy drive - is my standard
setup for machines that support multiple floppy drives.
I could write a small essay on all the ways this works for me, but
they mostly boil down to one choice.
Sometimes I want the whole experience, complete with noise and
chatter and blinky amber lights, and sometimes I want to just get it
done and move on.
Example: Installing WFW 3.11. Been here, done this, way too many
times. Gotek.
