This looks pretty neat to play around with, too bad the download link appears dead.

You can send $10 for a floppy disk version! http://www.nukefix.org/purchase.html http://www.nukefix.org/purchase.html

  None of my computers have floppy drives. :blushing-emoji:

    Funny story, I wound up finding a bunch of my old Mac-formatted Zip disks a few months ago, and trying to extract data off of them was a wild, tangled mess of external SCSI enclosures, `ddrescue`, and then quick archiving it up onto the NAS before the drive or disk started making the famous clicking noises. Blows my mind we lived like that.

    I have a USB floppy drive. 20 years ago, I saved it from being thrown out at work, and now I still have it. Well, I assume it works, haven’t actually used it in long time

  Might be worth a shot. The original developer still seems to be alive and doing stuff at https://fixdst.com/ https://fixdst.com/

  According to ftp://retronn.de/archiv/old_cds/pcwelt_08_2000/pcw_mat/inhalt/PCW99.PDF page 2, this software was included on a 1999 German CD-ROM "Ausgabe 2/99" (I think that's the CD-ROM that came with the February 1999 issue of the German PC-WELT magazine), at the path "\sharewar\sw\intsich\nukefix.exe". Unfortunately I can't find an ISO of that specific CD-ROM anywhere online, but maybe someone out there has it.
