What this floppy disk to usb software actually does ?
Briefly saying this usb as floppy software is a masterpiece application which has been developed to do some astonishing hard jobs on a simple click of a mouse. This floppy drive to usb format application will detect the usb storage devices plugged and installed on your computer system. You have to first select the number of disks you want to access on a single usb flash drive when plugged on floppy to usb, by making a choice between two tags marked as 'Single Block format' and 'Multi Block Format'. The single block format will equate your usb flash drive with the size of one floppy disk. It means if the floppy to usb flash disk is formatted using this option, your usb flash drive will be reduced to one floppy disk size. In the multi block format , you can equate single usb flash drive with upto 100 floppy disks. Once usb storage device is selected , then you can select the option of the format size from 1.44mb , 1.2mb , 720 kb and number of partitions you want to create ( in Multi Block edition ) of the selected format size. This usb as floppy software partitions and formats each partitions created in the selected size. Each partitions ( labeled as floppy0 to floppy99 ) can store individually different contents which can be accessed using the floppy drive to usb software by selecting the required block from the drop down menu. The floppy drive to usb software will then activate and assign the usb flash drive letter to that selected block. On the other end you can access these blocks as individual and independent floppy disks when plugged in the floppy disk to usb converter. You can change in the blocks by pressing the the two switches on the front of usb as floppy.
USB Floppy Emulator V2 is a software program developed by ipcas GmbH. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run.
