+====== Writing floppies with a USB Greaseweazle/Fluxengine interface ======
+Greaseweazle or Fluxengine hardware can be used to format and write images to a floppy in one step. Besides XDF, there is also limited support for D88 and DIM floppy image support. Regardless of your hardware choice, you will need the Fluxengine software.
+===== Writing 5.25" floppies =====
+<file>
+fluxengine write ibm1232 -i flop.xdf
+</file>
+Formats like D88 will override the setting for the disk format, you can use the more generic "ibm" format if you prefer in this case.
+===== Writing 3.5" floppies =====
+Most floppy drives spin at 300 RPM, so you'll need to compensate for this in software unless you found a 360RPM Japanese floppy drive (trimode drives will spin at 300 RPM when attached to a Greaseweazle).
