Any particular reason for 18k? (Just curious -- clearly having something bigger than the default is good.)

It's one track on a 1.44M floppy.


Makes sense. What about bs=1440k?

That'd work too. Back in the days when I used floppies, I used to like seeing the:


80 records in
80 records out

after doing the dd; it gave me a nice sense of having worked. Oh well, enough reminiscing.
