`14.May.2024`	DiskFlashback: Using image files and discs in PC drives Developer Rob Smith has introduced DiskFlashback, a convenient software for Windows 10/11 (64-bit) that enables PC floppy drives to read and write image files such as ADFs (Amiga Disk Files) during operation. It also makes it possible to process real floppy discs in Amiga or Atari format without having to use additional software or make hardware modifications (YouTube video). DiskFlashback is particularly aimed at retro computing enthusiasts and professional users who still work with older floppy disc formats. The software makes it possible, for example, to write image files to physical floppy discs and, conversely, to convert physical floppy discs into image files. This is particularly useful for archiving old software or reviving classic games and applications on original hardware. The workaround via WinUAE or other third-party software and expansion hardware for editing ADFs, for example, is therefore no longer necessary. The features of DiskFlashback include: Mount ADF, DMS, IMG, IMA, ST, MSA, HDA, HDF and SCP* files as virtual drives (* read only) Supports the following disk formats: AmigaDOS OFS/FFS DD & HD Disks IBM/PC FAT12/16 DD 720k & HD 1.44Mb Disks Atari ST FAT12/16 GemDOS Single and Double Sided normal & extended Disks Dual Format Amiga/Atari floppy disks and mounts them as two drives! (read only) Use DrawBridge, Greaseweazle or SupercardPro as a real windows drive letter Create blank disk images for the above formats. Rip real floppy disks to file Write disk images to real floppy disks Install boot blocks on Amiga disks Optionally silently swap file extensions (eg: mod.thismusic to thismusic.mod) The software requires Windows versions 10 or 11 in 64-bit - and of course a working floppy disc drive in the PC. The developer points out that the antivirus system in Windows may recognise the software as a virus. The false-positive warning can be ignored. DiskFlashback is OpenSource and is licensed under the GPL2 licence. Sources are available on GitHub. The free download of the software in its current version 1.0.0.6 is available on the developer's website under the title link. Developer Rob Smith offers the software free of charge, but is happy to receive a "tip" via ko-fi. (nba) [News message: 14.
