FloppoScope is a Disk Image Analyzer

If you’re a big retro tech fan, you might still have a floppy drive on hand, or even some sort of high-end disk imaging solution. If you’re a little less …. FloppoScope is a Disk Image Analyzer.

If you’re a little less committed, you may still have plenty of disk images on your hard drive for various reasons. Either way, you might find [0ldStaph]’s latest project to be useful for examining any disk images you have on hand. FloppoScope is a browser-based tool for analyzing floppy disk images.

Despite being browser-based, everything runs locally, so you’re not actually risking any sensitive data by using the tool—though we can’t imagine you’ve got too much Top Secret intel stored as floppy disk images, anyway. The tool will draw you a nicely color-coded map of the disk layout and shows all the pertinent data for the filesystem of the image. It will even let you preview common file types if you need.

The tool can also convert images between various formats, and spit out reports on things like bad sectors or corrupted files that have been detected.
