I have a Linux specific solution, but of course you can copy the images to a dos partition...

dd will read anything - try

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img bs=18k

where /dev/fd0 should be the device for your raw floppy drive (_not_ /dev/floppy) and
floppy.img the file you want to save the info to. You can then copy that file to somewhere
you can read it with DOS, or maybe even zip it so it will fit onto a floppy ;)

I'm not sure if any DOS tools would support minix...

HTH
