What you want is the fmsdisk.device by Matt Dillon. Its most recent version
appeared on Fred Fish Disk 294. Allows up to 32 "floppies" on your harddisk,
each of them represented by a 880K file named "Unit<x>", and each of them
easily deletable by a simple AmigaDOS Delete-Command. And you can use any file
system that works on normal floppies on these "Harddisk-Floppies" as well.

Best regards,
Holger
