This sounds like a profoundly good idea to me. I would like to see it
able to copy files between DriveWire and physical floppy disks, make DW
disk images into floppies and vice-versa, and do the same with
HDB-DOS-style disk images on IDE/SCSI drives. It would also be very
nice to be able to copy files between OS-9 RBF formatted and RS-DOS
disks/images. That would make many common file-shuffling jobs much easier.
