I'm not really familiar with SuperIDE as I don't have one, but unless you plan on typing each rom by hand then flashing, test, crash, then repeat, yes, you would :-)
Or will Drivewire work? I know there's issues with Drivewire & SuperIDE and copying from one to the other.

yep, but you still need floppy and a multipack to be able to do that
