Hello

to use this format, which is very low level, you also need a kind of 
wd1772 emulation that knowns how to decode the MFM (or similar) data 
stored in each image.

Unless such part exists, I don't think it will be possible to use this 
in Hatari at the moment (it would be too much work to write this from 
scratch)
