       Hi @textfiles , I imagine this is documented somewhere, but if I want to make a floppy disk image and send it to you (not that I think it's super historically significant, but it might be of interest to someone), how would I go about doing this? I have a USB floppy drive connected to my Windows 10 machine. It's a pair of floppies from 1997 that a friend gave me and I'd like to archive their contents before reusing the diskettes.

       @skylark13 It's easier to work with the windows one instead of the mac one on windows. My question is why you feel you need to wipe them at all to re-use? You can buy recycled floppies cheap.

       @textfiles Well, it was two things, "why waste good floppies" and "if the data is of interest to someone, might as well archive it". You're right, I may not use the floppies soon, but the sooner I archive the data the more chances I have of getting it intact...
