During a correspondence with another member here, Max1zzz pointed me to the fact, that RAW images can be copied to floppy with dd rather simple.
I wrote a first how to here: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8208
On a second thought, I tried the same procedure with a 2DD floppy and yes it can be done and the 2DD volume shows up in FusionPC without issues.
Fusion OS is 7.1 without PC-Exchange installed. Gestalt ID=7, MacIIfx.
I presume such a dd solution might be really helpful for people with vintage Macs and only a working floppy drive.
As I do not have a old school Mac any more, I would like to ask for confirmation.
Would somebody be so kind to try whether the above does work with a 720k floppy and a e.g. a Mac Plus?
If my memory is correct, I could have 720k floppies HFS formatted with my MacII, but that was ages ago.
(Please bear with me, if this was discussed in the past. OSX 10.5 or lower can of course write HFS floppies from userland.)
