Any Unix flavour is more flexible than Windows especially if you have XP which wont even allow you to format 720K disks!
<SOAPBOX>
First: They are not ROMs. ROMs are Read Only Memory IC's that contain the data for the game/application and the ROM 'images' are created by dumping the contents of the aforementions ROM. ST games came on Floppy Disk and so the proper term would be 'Disk Image', (like you say above).
</SOAPBOX>
That being said...
in Unix use the 'dd' command as follows.
dd if=<disk.st> of=/dev/<fd0>
...where <disk.st> is the image, and <fd0> is the floppy drive device. They are different depending on what flavour of unix you have. On some systems you have to look for a specific size of device ie: '/dev/fd02s80t9s' means "first floppy, 2 sides, 80 tracks, 9 sectors" This is for a 720K disk. Some disk images will be 800K or more. If its 800K then its 10 sectors. 820K is 10 sectors but 82 tracks. Have a look in the '/dev' directory and see what youve got.
