Copy a Floppy Diskette

[froggytreafrogg]

Hi, I own an external USB floppy drive and a set of system 7 diskettes. Is there anyway to make a copy of the disks. I'm using the drive on a MBP running OS X Leopard. Any help. PS: I'm just making the copy as a backup. Thanks

I don't know if Disk Utility will image them, but you can always use dd in Terminal.

What's a "Floppy"?

Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/). Go to File > New > from 'floppy name'.

Choose save destination and done.

thanks for the response, could you give me some clear instructions of dd? i had tried it before but the instructions that i had from this web site were useless (step one: start step two: end) there were very unclear. thanks again

I'm hoping the poster was just being sarcastic since the floppy drive on the Mac was removed many years ago.
