* Important bug/difficult ___ In some Windows machines, the "fdformat" program of "DOS_tools.tar.bz2" package doesn't work properly (physical damages to the formatted floppy has been tracked). What can I say ?!?! .......

Welcome to the WINDOWS world !!!

This is probably due to the fact that Windows doesn't make use of BIOS call during format process but wrap around with its own functions.

Solution: make use of Linux "fdformat /dev/fd0u1680 + dd if=disk*.img of=/dev/fd0u1680" as stated in the README file.
