6 months ago Just a bit of additional info - I can't find an official media type so that can be left blank (application/octet-stream is just the default that the sigdev tool uses). As it's a disk image the format type is Aggregate.
Minor tweak to the signature sequence as it's a precise offset, so offset=60, maximum offset=0 (the maximum offset is relative to the initial offset value, so in this case is 0 as the string we're looking for is exactly at offset 60) Sig description is: BOF, offset 60, 'KryoFlux DiskSystem, version=3.00s'

MIME/Media Type the MIME or Media Type associated with the format. A brief description of what a MIME type is can be found here. This should be an official Media Type, either registered and listed via the IANA or listed in official format documentation produced by the vendor. The best way to search IANA is to find in page and search for key words of the format.
application/octet-stream
Description a concise, objective description of the file format.
KryoFlux is a software-programmable FDC (Floppy Disk Controller) system that runs on small ARM7-based devices and connects to a host PC over a USB connector. It reads and writes flux transitions on floppy disks at a very fine resolution. (borrowed from: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pronom/fmt/656)
