The package includes the following items:

  * superformat: formats high capacity disks of (up to 1992k
    for high density disks or up to 3984k for extra density
    disks)
  * fdmount: automatically mounts/unmounts disks when they are
    inserted/removed.
  * xdfcopy: formats, reads and writes OS/2's XDF disks.
  * MAKEFLOPPIES: creates the floppy devices in /dev
  * getfdprm: prints the current disk geometry (number of
    sectors, track and heads etc)
  * setfdprm: sets the current disk geometry
  * fdrawcmd: sends raw commands to the floppy driver
  * floppycontrol: configure the floppy driver
  * General documentation about the floppy driver

Note that these utilities do not work for USB floppy drives, because there is no direct access to the floppy controller.
