Great feature! I have no experience with Linux and very > little experience with Unix. I am using Norton commander for this in two ways. 1st: Make an image of the diskette to HD and then copy to new diskette. 2nd: Connect two computers with their COM-ports. One is the master, the other one the slave. One comp. is a Toshiba lap-top with 720k drive and this one writes with its own drive all that comes in via the COM-port to the 720-floppy. Another trick: insert a real 720k floppy into a diskdrive. Format now the format details are read by the computer after formatting the PC asks: Format another Y/N? Answer YES. Now the format of the real 720k floppy is used to format the next one and the next and the next.
