Only if you don't have access to 5.25" drives on the system creating
the copies.
Floppy drives are dumb devices in the extreme--not a whole lot
different from an old record-cutting lathe. There's a mechanism to
move the head and some circuitry to amplify the read signal and
circuitry to drive the heads on write--and not much more.
No magic here. The brains are in the controller.
