Always on the search for tools which are essential and written in English
language today I tested rawread / rawrite which was suggested by "salo".
Unfortunately I had to find out that these tools DON?T WORK with 5,25" which
have a capacity of 360 KB! Any suggestions?
I would prefer a tool / utility which runs under MS-DOS, supports all
standard formats and creates an EXE-file so that noone needs to have the
tool to restore the saved disk.
Thanks in advance
Thomas

although
DOS or even
FreeBSD or Linux is a possibility.
rawrite / rawread
e.g. downloadable from:
http://hubble.physik.uni-konstanz.de/jkrueger/windows/rawrite.exe
http://hubble.physik.uni-konstanz.de/jkrueger/windows/rawread.exe
or dd in any generic *nix.
