Thanks for your help! That explained why I was unable to access them as a zipped anything. For archival purposes here's what I did:
dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p1 #swap floppy here dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p2 #swap floppy here dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p3 #swap floppy here dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p4 cat base.p1 base.p2 base.p3 base.p4 > base.tgz tar -tvzf base.tgz voila! Thanks again. Linux an unsupported OS? Ha!
