The best way I can think of for people with PCs to pass around copies of
Apple floppies, is to use dd.  Something along the lines of (off the top
of my head):
  Source - 
    dd if=/dev/fd0 of=mac.boot.img
  (send the file mac.boot.img to the other person)
  Destination - 
    dd if=mac.boot.img of=/dev/fd0

Won't work for 800KB disks, though.
