I don't think you can copy them from any PC drives. I know there are a couple of older (Power PC era) Macs that can format and write 800k floppies for the Apple II. You might see if there's any way to do it from one of your Amigas, but I don't believe so.

I think the best option for you is to find a serial cable and use that to bootstrap with ADTPro. It's really simple, and if your PC doesn't have a serial port I think you can pick up a small USB-to-RS232 adapter.

Here's an old video that shows how easy it is once you get the cable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xworYThmMI

And again, you can find more info at the ADTPro project page. http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/

Info about the right cables to use can be found here. http://retrofloppy.com/products.html
