Not sure exactly what you are trying to do.

You can download various disks for old OS directly from Apple - i.e.
7.5.5 as disk image files and they would probably burn to floppy disk by
using dd on Linux.

www.info.apple.com 

dd if=/path/to/Apple_Disk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512

Those are High Density floppy disk images. If I recall correctly, there
were 2 or 3 disk images. I have the 'net install' version which isn't
going to help since it is only for systems that are already working and
I can't legally give you a copy per Apple's restrictions.
