I believe there is a program in the OS-9 SIG on CompuServe that will handle
MS-DOSoid floppies.  Southeast Media (the folks who put out *68 Micro Journal*)
also sell some utilities for that purpose.

If you are running some version of D.P. Johnson's SDISK3 device driver, then
you can buy MSF from Clearbrook.  MSF is an MS-DOS file manager which you can
use with MS-DOS floppies the way you'd use RBF with OS-9 floppies.

There may be RSDOS programs that do what you want, but I don't know of them.
(Never had the urge to find out.)
