No, it's doing a raw write to the floppy device. In fact it will  
destroy any formatting already on the disc and replace it with however  
the disk image is formatted.

This only works for disk images that lack any kind of header and are  
basically just a binary dump of the disc - I don't know whether .ssd  
qualifies. .dsd certainly does not.
