It is not possible to write a mac DD disk on a PC -
They are actually 800k and are a format PC floppy
drives cannot read.

FORTUNATELY for you the 140 has the Mac 1.4M HD 
floppy drive (or it SHOULD). In this case what you
need is a piece of PC software called TransMac to
write Mac disks on your PC. There are other software
solutions, but this is what I used until I got my SCSI
Zip drive working on all my systems (except this
PowerBook 3400, still need an adapter cable).

Do a google search for TransMac and you should find
it.
Hope This Helps.
