The first thing I'd try before working on the original is
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=yourChoice.dd
With a hex viewer (e.g. mc) you can still read the text portion in the .dd

I have a floppy that was pulled out of the drive before it was umounted.
is there anyway to repair the fs on it (FAT16) without having access to
the original machine?
