O.K., O.K., I was at my work...

With Mac OS 8 and 8.1 even the most recent Disk Copy didn't work at all.

With Mac OS 8.5 also didn't work, but if you change the type/creator of the
image (boot.fs) to ddsk/rohd, you can make the floppy. I hope it will work
with 8.6, not tried yet.

With System 9.x works fine, you don't have to change nothing. Needless to
say, you can't mount them anyway.

My machine is a beige G3 233 Rev. A with Open Firmware 2.1f. I hope this
will be useful...

P.S.: I use dd to make a image from a HFS floppy in NetBSD and this image
mounted on Disk Copy. Yes, I can have my few Mac floppies mounted on newer
Macs ;-)
