Tools like the Kryoflux record raw flux transitions, so they don't care whether 
the modulation is FM, MFM, GCR, etc. But they do need to be used with a drive 
whose track positions and head geometry are compatible with reading and/or 
writing the floppy disk in question. Whether a TPDD disk can be imaged and/or 
created with something like Kryoflux will depend on the track positions and 
track width used by the TPDD's mechanism. Is there any documentation available 
about the TPDD's physical track positions on the disk? If they happen to line 
up with track positions of common 40-track or 80-track drives, then there's a 
chance.
