Nope, sorry :( The m<whatever> commands only work for DOS formatted floppys.

Your best bet is probably copying it off the original computer onto a formatted
floppy and copying it off that floppy. I had thought that you could 'dd' it off
the floppy, but that wouldn't work, because it would take an image of the whole
floppy. Other ideas anyone?

Yup, that would be right if it was made by something like 'make bzdisk' or the
like.
