fdutils is a collection of programs that allow one to perform special actions on floppy disks.

This package contains utilities for formatting extra capacity disks, for automatic floppy disk mounting and unmounting, etc.
The package includes the following items:
* superformat: formats high capacity disks of (up to 1992k
  for high density disks or up to 3984k for extra density
  disks)
* fdmount: automatically mounts/unmounts disks when they are
  inserted/removed.
* xdfcopy: formats, reads and writes OS/2's XDF disks.
* MAKEFLOPPIES: creates the floppy devices in /dev
* getfdprm: prints the current disk geometry (number of
  sectors, track and heads etc)
* setfdprm: sets the current disk geometry
* fdrawcmd: sends raw commands to the floppy driver
* floppycontrol: configure the floppy driver
* General documentation about the floppy driver

**Note that these utilities do not work for USB floppy drives, because there is no direct access to the floppy controller.
