Safecopy "is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. Unlike ddrescue, dd_rescue or safecopy, it allows storing multiple CRC-failed reads to get the best possible data from failing floppy disks. Old fork: " Dumpfloppy dumps floppy disk images to files. Also encountered "make: Warning: File 'Makefile.am' has modification time 63026 s in the future" error resolved thusly: find -type f -exec touch + & make clean & make) No compiling instructions included found them in BitCurator's bootstrap.sh: aclocal -force & autoconf -f & automake -add-missing &. You can capture an image with dumpfloppy and then write it back with ImageDisk, or use the dumpfloppy tools to examine or extract an ImageDisk file." For image files, it uses the IMD format defined by Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk.
