The shareware DOS program CopyQM (available everywhere) can both read 
and write raw diskette images, all in DOS.

The same can be done also by the popular commercial DOS progrem diskedit,
one of the Norton Utilities.

The format of the images created by the latter is perfectly compatible
with RAWRITE. I don't remember about the former.

Of course, the best thing to do is to install Linux first, then use
dd both for writing and for reading Mac diskette images. With linux,
I use also hfs (available at the best linux sites) to list the contents
and get files from the Mac diskette. The present alpha version of that 
program cannot write files to a Mac diskette, but the next will.
