[luau] Making Floppy Copies

[MonMotha]

Is the disk by chance copy protected or of a different format than the 
traditional 1.44MB?  dd can't copy those things over.  If the disk is 
just of a different format (like 1.7MB), you can probably reformat the 
destination floppy using "superformat" if you're able to figure out what 
format it's in.
