Rafael, please could you share a working method of expanding a floppy from 1.44MB to i.e. 2.88MB ?
I'm back to this issue and noticed that popular Linux tools (i.e. gparted with libparted, fatresize, etc.) weirdly do not support resizing a FAT12 filesystem which the floppies have. Manually increasing the number or sectors with a hexedit - 0x13/0x14 bytes from 0x0B40 to 0x1680 and 0x18 byte from 0x12 to 0x24 - also didn't work for me (but I just learned about FAT structure and may be missing something).
