If you're running your "DOS" under DOSEMU in Linux, you can always just dd
the floppy to a file & then you can 'loopback mount' that image into a
directory.[1] AFAIK, DOSEMU can specify directories as drives (but don't
quote me on that - I've only used it once, and that was *very* briefly.) [2]

[1] To loopback mount a file into the filesystem, you need to either have
that kernel function a) compiled into the kernel, or b) compiled into a
module, and load that module using the module-functions (lsmod/insmod/rmmod).
[2] Like... 10 minutes, tops.
