The Virtual Floppy Disk device driver emulates a floppy drive in the memory.

VFDISK by IBM is a virtual floppy disk device driver that allows track reading, writing, and formatting like a normal floppy disk (2.88 MB, 1.44 MB, 1.2 MB, 360 kB, or 1.84 MB). This can be useful for automation of diskette image builds and for creating virtual floppies for one-time installs of distributed diskette images.
