That might work, I think at least one of the PC (they are all laptop) had an
option for FDD so it might have an IDE connector somewhere.

A fried of mine had an Ensoniq, and he suggested that you should
check with
rubber chicken software, who apparently have such
for download.

which might get you the stuff you need. Good luck.
I have a feeling this need an IDE (PATA) floppy. I have four PC in house
and
none of them have a floppy. Tested the software using VM and it failed
the
boot disk write operation since Ensoniq had a very proprietary format. dd might be able to write the floppy, too, if you
get a disk image and a
drive that supports that format.
Long shot. DD still only writes blocks so it depends on the underlying disk
driver for the actual drive format. These are not DOS or NTFS format so
AFAIK
there are no drivers for them on Linux. I did find a few references for
Linux RW
tools although they did not support writing bootable OS disks.
Will take one of the older laptops apart and look for the disk connector
types.
