Used Floppy Formatting Utility for Linux for Linux?

Developer’s Description

By Sam Varshavchik

Format floppy disks on your Linux system.

Floppy Formatting Utility for Linux is used to format floppy disks. It replaces fdformat, and supports both floppy-controller drives and LS-120 (Superdisk) ATAPI-IDE drives. This utility was originally written to support the ATAPI IDE/LS-120 format functionality. Support for the floppy controller-connected disk drives was added in afterwards. This utility is much more novice-friendly than fdformat. For example: the command "floppy --format a:" will format the floppy disk whether the first floppy disk drive is a floppy controller drive, or an LS-120 drive.
