cisco firmware images will not write to floppy
net
the unzipped img file will not write onto a standard MF-2HD floppy disc. I
also tried AP340v1204.exe Size: 1516 KB but still got the same problem - the
write process fails. I've tried different floppy discs with different
extraction programs (also tried rawrite but the process failed again) in
both windows and DOS on two different PC's but no luck.
I used Floppy Image to check the integrity of the img files and the program
said 'CRC32 check failed'. How do I get these images onto a floppy disc?

did you compare the checksum ?

are firmware images, which should be written into the Cisco AP340 Access
Points, which has no floppy. Plus, regular floppy are 1440 KB, so, you will
never fit 1516 KB file into the 1440 KB floppy.
Good luck,

If for some reason you need to store the files on floppy disk then
use somehting like winzip, 7zip, gzip, to compress them.
If they won't compress the above programs may allow the
files to be split across more than one disk.
Also disks can sometimes be formatted at higher capacity,
e.g. Alkonost MaxFormat 3.60
Never used it but I have used similar tools in the past.
This is a networking group. We don't use sneakernet
much these days:-)

not, not some kind of joke. Sorry to be a bungling beginner but we all have
to start somewhere. I thought the AP had to obtain it's image from a floppy
disc but I see now that was wrong. I'll get there in the end.
