No, there is no filesystem involved. This is raw io from the floppy. Think of the floppy drive itself as a 1.44MB file called /dev/floppy.
There *was* a dos filesystem on the diskettes. There is not one anymore.
There is one tar archive spread across 7 pieces of raw media which just contain a stream of 1.44 million bytes each.
