Hey I'd like to do this myself, I've got a few amiga disks. I suspect maybe they're referring to an Amiga floppy drive which I had up till now thought was the same as a standard 720K 3.5 inch drive. I would have one somewhere so I might try the tools you mention & also try the Amiga drive. Of course, I assume you've tried:- dd if=/dev/fd0 of=myfile.adf (never know you're luck). Maybe, try fd0D720, fd0H720, fd0H880 devices, or even some of the fd0u devices which I'd assume means unformatted. Basically telling the device/os what density you want.
