It is possible to install a floppy image on a USB stick and boot it from the USB. I use a bootable USB stick to adjust the head park times on WD Greens to reduce it from their asinine 8 second default to a more sensible 300 seconds using the WD utility for that, which has to run in a DOS environment.

Google search for "floppy image on a usb" It's also possible to make a bootable CD floppy image, but I think the USB route is simpler.
