I tried a couple VDK images which did work. Can you provide a link to one
that doesn't?

The Dragon DOS file system is not compatible with RSDOS. I don't know if
there are any tools to extract/insert files into a DSK image using the
Dragon's file system.

To create a blank 40 track DSK file for the Dragon, you need a couple extra
steps:

DRIVE 1, "DRAGON.DSK", NEW
SWRITE 1,39,18,"",""
DSKINIT 1

Note that the Dragon command is DSKINIT instead of DSKINI and the drive
number conventions are to use 1 and 2 instead of 0 and 1.
