I need to resize a floppy image from 1440KB (1474560 bytes) "High Density" aka standard floppy to 2880KB (2949120 bytes) "Extended Density" floppy, and sadly discovered there are no opensource Linux tools for that! Manual hexedit of 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). + #15

Please add FAT12 resizing support - it may be really important in some situations.

Unfortunetally, FAT12 is not suppoted by Parted:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=parted.git;a=blob;f=libparted/fs/fat/bootsector.c;h=0c3ae77d391140934efe20903e5f5a4369a17c16;hb=8c50fec522f475c51e2aaa3c972ce4c6690dda92#l215

You may try to raise the feature request in Parted project instead.
