# Insert the source disk into LS-120 drive
$ dd if=3D/dev/rafd0 of=3D/tmp/disk.img
# Insert the destination disk into LS-120 drive
$ dd if=3D/tmp/disk.img of=3D/dev/rafd0
$ rm /tmp/disk.img=20

Change the value of bs to get maximum data rate. Try bs=3D36b, as suggested=
 by
Greg Lehey in the reply to my own post on this list titled "LS120 drive has=
 a
strange behaviour with 1.44MB floppy".
