Possibly. Can you dd the contents off the floppy into a file and then poke through the file looking for the data that you want?
$ dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/some/darn/file
Looked promising, but I got
dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out
that's not good. i'd say that suggests a problem with the floppy. dd doesn't care about filesystems, it just reads raw data.
