This seems to work for writing these large images.
And is totally useless and wrong, because XDF uses variable sector sizes and not 1K constant. The only way is to use the XDFCOPY utility program shipped by IBM and also included in later versions of PC DOS. Perhaps it can run in dosemu under Linux.
The only virtualisation solution that can deal with XDF image files (not physical XDF floppies) is Microsoft's Virtual PC.
The only reason for including XDF still on Warp 4 CD-ROM were it's use for older CID redirected installation methods. In an ususal attended installation only the 3 FAT floppies are needed.
Do you know is Microsoft Virtual PC will tun under Wine? How about Virtual Box?
