Well, I'd be surprised too if such a beast could do DOS floppies, but
John wasn't talking about DOS floppies either. He probably only
misspelled "write" as "read" up there...
Several of HP's proprietary boxes used LIF floppies. Those can be handled
by HP-UX tools - indeed, the HP-UX on-disk boot area is a LIF
"filesystem" too. So you might have some luck in writing the stuff to a
floppy on a HP-UX box using lifcp.
And there's a Linux LIF-utility set too somewhere on the 'net, if you
don't have a HP-UX box available.

My ideas, not my employer's. No warranty. YMMV.
