Well, there are a couple of programs around that can handle this.
I use Media Master by Spectre Technologies (22458 Ventura Blvd.,
Suite E, Woodland Hills, CA 91364; phone 818-716-1655).  Uniform is
another program that should be able to do the trick -- I think you
can get it from FOG.  And, a more circuitous route would be to use
a shareware package like 22NICE which permits IBM-compatibles to
emulate an Osborne or Kaypro disk drive (I've used it to move
SuperCalc files from my old Ozzy to my new 386 machine).
