If you use Tim Mann's catweasel tools and generate

any others that run on Linux?), it definately does not store them in

I'm familiar with Tim Mann's work and have used his utilities to archive some RX02
diskettes. But since Tim interprets the format before storing it, the result can be a
less-than-accurate recreation, particularly for the many formats his utility knows nothing
about. Again, this is more akin to storing the files of the diskette than storing the
format of floppy itself.
