Phil,

I know that you have tried different floppies, but this problem is almost
always caused by a bad floppy.  Try some from a different source.  Find
another Linux box and verify what is on the rescue floppy against the
resc1440 file with md5sum.  I use :-
dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=8k | md5sum ; md5sum path/to/resc1440.bin

and I have never had trouble with a disk that passed that test.
