dely Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) The idea for MILF - Medium i'd Like to Format - was born from the need to copy few sectors from one disk to another. Sending a specific configuration to a disk drive was also useful for me. The program can send the most popular configurations to the device, copy selected sectors, create the operation log and later save it to disk. If you have patience, you can even use it to copy entire floppy disks, if you have at least two drives (this will not change, because the memory instead of the buffer is used to write the log of operations). You can also set automatic behavior when encountering errors, etc. milf.atr milf.xex Edited March 25, 2020 by dely Typo 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash_rendar Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Looks good. Testing this Weekend. Any Chance to making it "local", eg german, english, francais, espanol a.s.o.? maybe with a transl.dat or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarxx Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This is fantastic! Just what I need to help with recovering disks with a few bad sectors. Chomping through a batch right now. Only copier I could find without a manual retry was APE on the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarxx Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Dely, I've been using it for several hours now, over multiple disks and I have a couple of suggestions for you if you plan to update in the future. When wanting to copy a single sector, if I could leave the end sector blank and just hit return it would save typing it in again. If the maximum number of retries could be increased or possibly a continuous option that can be aborted. I find most bad CRC sectors can be recovered eventually, but it can need hundreds of retries (this is after disk cleaning and trying multiple drives). Great utility. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dely Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 New version. Added ability to force copying more sectors than the drive can handle. This is useful for drives which don't care about returning actual geometry (e.g. XF551 clones with firmware adapted for 720 KB floppies). Changes proposed and tested by @Peri Noid. milf.atr milf.xex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
