Whoops. I meant, of course,
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/floppy1 bs=512
where floppy1 is the image file. That's why I said man first.
>dd if=/dev/floppy of=~/floppy.img bs=512
That too. Depends how your /dev is set up, I suppose :)

Some versions of (*nix) mount can mount a disk image file so it appears
like a real disk... You can do all the usual copy/move/rm operations. Can
windows mount an image file like that?
