Copy floppy a: to a file or another disk of the same format! You may have to set the floppy disk paramters with:
setfdprm /dev/fd0 1680/1440
to read and write a DMF diskette.
Use:
setfdprm /dev/fd0 1440/1440
to return to normal and copy a regular format floppy.
You should delete the old diskfile before you attempt to copy another disk.
