I think a PC util would be easiest.

If you have a boot disk you need to use the sector access commands to read
one sector at a time and write the data out to a file on the PC. That's the
Read option

Tpdd1util <disk image name> com1
Tpdd1util format com1
Tpdd1util write <disk image name> com1

You don't need to reverse engineer powr dos since the sector access
protocol for the tpdd1 is documented in the software reference manual.

Unless someone has already written such a utility (Kurt?) I think that
would be the easiest way

Then for someone else to create a disk with a working drive you just send
then a link to the util and the disk image.

If you want to get minimalist you could embed the disk image within the EXE
so they just need one thing.
