Once a utility called HDCopy existed, I don't know about its current
status but back then it was a simple DOS executable, cardware license,
and could do lots of strange things like disk copy and disk formatting
with 21 sectors x 84 tracks - the disks only worked on some floppy
drives, but you could copy w95 disks and have some extra slack space on
them :-D

Oh look, wikipedia has something about it
