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, 360K, or 1.84Mb). This can be useful for automation of diskette image builds and for creating virtual floppies for one-time installs of distributed diskette images.
