Surely that will only work if the target floppy is already formatted to 
match the image you want to write to the disk?

I wasn't aware that Linux natively supported the BBC floppy formats, and 
certainly haven't seen a formatter that could format a DFS or ADFS floppy 
included with any recent Distros.
