No good:

[ron@CO3000655-A images]$ dd if=all.img of=/dev/fd0u2880 
dd: /dev/fd0u2880: Input/output error 
1+0 records 
in 0+0 records out 
[ron@CO3000655-A
images]$

[ron@CO3000655-A images]$ dd bs=512 count=5760 if=all.img
of=/dev/fd0u2880
dd: /dev/fd0u2880: Input/output error
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
[ron@CO3000655-A images]$  

/dev/fd0u1722 works, though (tomsrtbt uses it).

Pixel, 

While on the subject, could you/someone recreate the rescue.img? 
This time with 2880 blocks?

Foreshortened as it is makes it impossible to do an md5sum check on
the created floppy because of the unpredictable content of the
unwritten last few blocks on the floppy.
