I created that raw imgdisk using 'dd' in Linux. It's a basic system tool. It did error'd while copying part of disk #5.

Anyhow, it's pretty clear no matter how the image disk is created, this will be one hard mother f----- to break. ;-) I might just buy the games from ebay, but pretty sad I can't play them in Portuguese (maybe I can copy over the data from the Portuguese floppies or something :-/). We wouldn't be able to post these games in Abandonia either way, right? Mindscape is still an active publisher...

EDIT: Anyway, I will indulge you guys in creating the image disks in other ways. I just installed Windows 7 in my computer with the floppy driver, so feel free to suggest other ways to create the image disk. I would just appreciate if you could tell me exactly what steps to follow (I'm short of time ATM). Or can just ship my floppies to anyone who has any experience in these things -- either that, or I will just order for you one copy from ebay.

By the way, here are scans of the the boxes if you guys are curious about it (click for a bigger size):
