or data exchange module (stateless emulators). Data exchange The floppy disk emulator can provide other systems access to the data on the emulated floppy in a number of ways: Direct access to some dedicated disk partition (e.g.: a 1.44MB partition on a USB key) Floppy file system translation (e.g.: FAT12 floppy ↔ USB key folder) Floppy disk images (e.g.: raw floppy ↔ .img/.iso USB key file) Direct access and floppy image implementations can also emulate system / non-standard floppies, whose file system can't be simply translated. Floppy image implementation can also be coupled with a virtual drive to seamlessly emulate floppy drives on a computer. Some devices can store multiple floppy images, and provide a mechanism to select which emulated floppy is mounted on the emulated drive.
