Just FYI...
The reason I put up
this page (
http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/hardware/boot_floppies/boot_floppies.html) on my site was because that page has all broken links.
The links should have been fixed to point at items within
this directory (
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/MultiCountry/Enterprise/) at Apple, but Apple doesn't maintain any of their older tech info pages anymore.
Thank you for the link. :)

RacerX, i found this tool (rawwrite with frontend) for using under Windows very handy:

Cool! I'll put that up.
Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to this (
http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/suntar-223.hqx) Mac-based solution yet - owing to hardware hurdles thrown up by my slab -, but I know that its Overwrite sectors command can be used in creating boot floppies from images for PCs in need of a little linux.
Edit/Followup: "this" (suntar) does seem to work. Unfortunately, testing consisted entirely of attempting to boot VPC 2 to the NS3.3 non-Moto (:?: :!: ) boot floppy image, written by suntar. Having none of the other floppies prepared, and being required to insert the core drivers disk to continue, I had to abort. Promising, though; I may yet be running NS - albeit, possibly on a Mac before a slab I have in hand.
