It is functional for both 5.25" and 3.5" disks dependent upon which size
and format disk the image was made from, but will not translate. It
might be possible to fool it into thinking that a 3.5" was a 5.25"
1.2mb, but you might need to change it in CMOS.
Hmmm! I wonder if it will work with 8"?

Question
1: What the heck is up with loaddskf? Has anybody
run into problems with it when dealing with raw binary images?
It's supposed to work ... :-)
I've never used it with anything other than 3 1/2 inch drives.
Perhaps it has a table of drive types it supports...and only
works with them.
The only way to tell is to disassemble it and see.
