Creating an 8-inch floppy from 3.5-inch Teledisk image

I finally got an 8-inch floppy drive connected to a PC and now I want
to create an 8-inch boot floppy from a Teledisk image I found, but
tdcheck says it's an 82 track 3.5-inch floppy image.  That's seems
odd.

Anyone know for sure if I should be able to use Teledisk to write this
image directly to an 8-inch floppy?  Or would I need to do something
like write the image to a 3.5 inch floppy and then use ImageDisk to
read that floppy and write it to the 8-inch floppy?
