That reminds me, I need to image some Rainbow floppies I have.
I would think someone would have already written this in the MS-DOS

They have. Back in 1987, I wrote something for the PC called "RAINDOS"
for Rainbow floppies. I'm sure it's on SIMTEL20.
There are various similarly ancient hard disk backup utilities that use
MSDOS Int 23H/24H for imaging hard drives. They'll work fine on the
Rainbow, IIRC.
