I am looking for a utility to display the sectors of a floppy disk,
the fat, the mbr, the directory structure. Debug will do that, but is
there a utility with a better user interface for this?

You could try to hunt down an old copy (v7.0 or earlier) of
Norton Utilities -- that's what I used to use but I'm sure there
must be hundreds/thousands of others. Take a look at various
retro archives for these; I would start at garbo.uwasa.fi in the
MSDOS face of the site.
