I use ANADISK, found on simtel20 and wuarchive in the msdos/dskutil 
directories.  It is a little clunky to use, but for a $25 shareware fee,
it provides huge bang for the buck, and has worked extremely well for us.

It doesn't completely convert the disk, but it does cope with non-PC
sectoring and generates a file image of the floppy (with an optional
embedded sector map), which you then can manipulate however necessary.
