I'm familiar with Tim Mann's work and have used his utilities to archive some RX02 diskettes.  But since Tim interprets the format before storing it, the result can be a less-than-accurate recreation, particularly for the many formats his utility knows nothing about.  Again, this is more akin to storing the files of the diskette than storing the format of floppy itself.  

Cheers,
