When you have a real RX50, all you want are the actual bytes that should 
be written to the disk, and nothing else.
Which means it should be a 400K plain raw disk dump.

(In Unix-speak the result of "dd if=/dev/floppy of=image")

The format information is implicitly already there, and correct, since 
we're playing on the real hardware.
