One trick with an 800K E format disc image is to create an 800K RAM disc and
then dump the disc image into the memory used by the RAM disc. Unfortunately
this only works on RO versions pre RO 4.

This is done by ProCopy so you can try it using ProCopy to see if it works
with the images you're using. But be warned. Many so-called ADF images
aren't true 800K ADFS images.
