You're welcome!
BTW, when "burning" a floppy, I like to read the data back to compare,
something like this (assuming you've padded your data to the standard
size of 1474560 bytes):
dd if=mydata of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 count=1440
sync
/sbin/blockdev --flushbufs /dev/fd0
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=testdata bs=1024 count=1440
cmp mydata testdata
