I'm assuming what you want is to mount and access the filesystem contained within a floppy image file in Windows. A quick search of the wiki turned up this:

But I don't know anything about it since I don't use windows, so thats all I've got.

The

No way to do that if you don't know the indications of included files because they are simply continuously concatenated files.

Extracted using Notepad. I assume its right.
Also, you cant run imaging software on a file that's not an actual disk image (referring to your usage of Windows cat command here).
