[ About this Program ]

FloppyBootCD — Turns boot floppy images into bootable CDs.

FloppyBootCD takes a floppy image (.img, .ima, .vfd, .flp, or WinImage .imz) and emits a bootable ISO. The trick is xorriso doing the El Torito work; this just gives you a friendlier front end and bundles a known-good xorriso build so you don't have to chase down dependencies.

• Drop in your floppy image
• Pick the output ISO name
• Burn the ISO to a CD-R, or attach it to a VM

Useful when you have a piece of 90s hardware that boots from CD but no longer has a working floppy drive, which is most of them by now.
