I am using samdisk on a Windows 2000 PC to write images on disks. The floppy drive is HD.
I write them using this commandline. It worked for disks such as the service disk 1.4.
samdisk copy STREAM A:
The disks I am using are double density disks that were brand new. They actually came with the Fluke and have a Fluke sticker on them.
I also have a box of virgin/blank Fluke floppies and I've had no issues writing them (using dtc) and reading them on the Fluke. I've however had issues trying to use Fluke branded floppies that have been previously used, all kinds of errors when reading on the Fluke. If I were you (since you have the temporary workaround of using the ftp HDD image) I'd just install a Gotek and be done with floppies. The Gotek is far more useful and more importantly, far more reliable. Just remember that you need to set the floppy type to Sony in the firmware, if it's set to Canon you're going to have to start messing with signalling lines to get the Gotek to work [yes this will impact the disc change detect test referenced in the manual but I've found no case where this is actually relied upon; rather there is always "press any key" manual detection]. Since you have a working service disk floppy you should be able to do this, or as you found you can just write a service disk floppy to an SDcard and boot it using SCSI2SD.
