Will give this a go. Just have to find a 3.5 inch floppy drive I can connect
to my Mac (running 10.5.8) - a USB floppy drive I presume.
I found this one on the Net:

Will your command line work with a mid 2011 iMac running 10.8.5 with this
kind of USB floppy drive plugged in?
I've got a bunch of blank DD 3.5 inch disks already so no problems there.
As
dd is a standard Unix command and OSX is based on BSD Unix it should work. Maybe you have
to specify the device name according to the disk geometry, for example /dev/fd0720.
