[Coco] CoCo disks and XP

I already mentioned this once here but had no time to play around with
it so far or make some tests for myself. There's an interesting software
here:

http://www.shlock.co.uk/Utils/OmniFlop/OmniFlop.htm

which claims to read, write and format CoCo disks from within XP. It
comes with a new driver allowing native control of the floppy
controller.

Is there any use for those tools (OmniFlop or OmniDiskXP) concerning the
emulators?

Is there any chance to get the 16 Bit DOS emulators and/or their tools
for file access running within XP using the new driver?

If this tool is able to read and create RAW disk images, couldn't those
be used for the emulators?

Maybe someone here could play around with it and figure out if it's
useful.
