One DOS program that can do this is "RAWRITE.EXE".  One place that can
be found is in the install directory of the Slackware Linux
distribution, for example at:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/install/
It should also be at the sunsite mirrors.

As for dd, I don't know what is the point of block size when writing to
floppies because the low level format determines where the data will go.
I suppose that the only thing block size could do is increase
performance.  I just use "cat [image] > [floppy device]".
