Well, I wrote some tools for personal use back in the early 90’s that will do 
this. Also, a 1.2 on 1.44, 360 on a 720 or  whatever as long as it “fits”. 
These sources and many others were lost decades ago in a hard drive failure. It 
was good for making backups of diskettes (including some that other tools could 
not clone). Unfortunately, it does not use a standard image file format like 
dd, raread or edict. But, if a sector on the source is unreadable, it will be 
made unreadable on the target disk. Basically, there are two tools. Savedisk 
and Makedisk. One makes an image. The other puts the image on a floppy. 

Anyhow, if you want, I’ll release the binaries to public domain and put them up 
on my server.
