Isn;t that what the FDRAWCMD ioctl() is for under linux?
IS the PC floppy drive conencted to a controller on the processor bus
(e.g. it's got a 34 way ribbon cabvle goign to a connector on the
motherboard), or is it a USB deviec? I am told most (all?) of the latter
don't handle non-PC formats (or even non-1.44M formats) at all.

How might I read a PCW floppy into a PC disk
image? It's a 3.5" 720 DD
disk. My PC does have a 3=BD" drive and runs Windows 7/64 and Ubuntu
11.10/64.
Are you sure about that? I was under the impression the PCW9512 used a=20
3-inch drive... EME-231 or something like that.
You probably won't be able to do this under Win7; it doesn't allow=20
low-level access to the disc controller. Similar story for Linux, unless=20
you feel like writing a driver (or patching the existing driver) to do so.
