Gentles,
As its really an MFM Disk why not read it with an MFM adaptor? Something like:-
https://www.pdp8.net/mfm/mfm.shtml
which will read and image MFM disks and replace them. Expensive perhaps, but perhaps some
one can lend you one to get an image...
... or if the SCSI <=> MFM adaptor supports two disks the use a DREM
https://www.drem.info/tech-info
and perhaps DD to copy the data.....

Do you have any idea how far back one might need to go to get a kernel that
didn't depend on SCSI Inquiry?
I wonder if a retro computer with a really old kernel and a SCSI card that it
supported might be a viable option.
