If you have a second serial port (DL11 compliant - e.g. DLV11-J) I would be inclined to use a serial-based TU58 emulator initially.
In fact, you can drive the TU58 emulator as a virtual serial disk - so you can run the XXDP diagnostics this way.
Increase the baud rate of the serial port to the MAX and you will find that an emulated TU58 drive is faster than a real floppy drive!
Beware of cheap RS232 to USB converters though...
