i never heard of tools reading ext2 file system in windows. put the files on a linux box and save them on a floppy formatted as fat32 with windows...
ext2 is the format of the floppy, not a compressed archive or similar

you haven't?

Reading ext2 in Windows is not a problem, but I completely fail to understand what the OP is asking. What is an "ext2 format package" Usually .img files are images of filesystems, for instance you can download an image of a boot disk to install Linux.

If it's an image of a floppy it's probably a FAT filesystem. Ext2 is kind of wasteful to use on a floppy. I think you are looking for something like VFD
