Both worked: direct mount, and via image. The bits on the floppy hadn't
flip-flopped yet :-)
Still, revisiting the loop device for mount was a good exercise.
Thanks Bob, for offering plan B .................. Horst

I try to extract some files from a Mac floppy that's about 7 years old.
The filesystem type should be hfs.
I'd copy the floppy contents to a disk file and mount the disk file
because old floppies get read errors easily.
# cp /dev/fd0 /tmp/fd0.img
# mount -o ro,loop -t hfs /tmp/fd0.img /mnt/floppy
# ls /mnt/floppy
