Can somebody point out my error please?
Searching the web suggests that you can't mount adfs formatted floppy disks in Linux due to weirdness of the floppy controller (similar to what Steve said about Amiga disks) there are a few solutions so you could try them where you pull the image of the floppy off the disk and then mount that. Of course, some of these pages might be quite old so no idea if they will work for you or not.

The problem so far is that the programs, like OmniFlop, don't work with USB drives. So I've now dragged the old machine onto the desk beside me and have just fired it up to see if I can persuade that to read the various floppies.
Thanks to everybody for their help. I'll report back.
