Ah, thank you. Floopy is simple enough even for me :o)
And cheap enough for me too (Freeware!)
I tested it with a USB floppy as drive A: on my Windows 7 64-bit PC and it
successfully if slowly created a disk image of a HD QL disk in about 10
minutes. It won't handle 720KB QL disks (it recognised it as such), only 1.4
MB ones on this system at least. Probably because Win7 doesn't handle 720K
disks.
MTools can be a bit overpowering with all those command line options.
And I tested the Jonathan Hudson QDC, that also doesn't run on Win 7 64-bit.

On my website there’s an article by IIRC Timothy Swenson about the use of
RAWREAD and RAWRITE to create and write disk image files.
Someone asked me (presumably trying out SMSQmulator) if there is a 64-bit
Windows version of RAWREAD or RAWRITE, or equivalent software (RAWREAD is
a DOS program which doesn’t run in 64-bit environments).
I assume it might be possible to run 32-bit programs in something like
virtual box too.
Another solution gleaned from reading the Tim Swenson manual with the
emulator is to use the QDC (Quintessential Disk Cloner from QLTools to
create a floppy image, although I haven’t yet got round to testing if this
works on 64-bit Windows or not).
