Well..., it is not exactly this way. Linux is not supporting the BBC floppy 
format (even if I believe it DOES supports ADFS), dd is simply a disc copy
command that pours into the floppy disk the image file given as 'if' parameter,
it works only for standard format floppies, that is, the ones present in
the kernel.
