self-extracting diskette image to hard disk?

It's great that IBM is still providing OS/2 device drivers for the
T series of ThinkPads. However, I am a little puzzled as to why
the executable files that you can download from their web site
require extraction to a floppy diskette, especially when the
ThinkPad models in question don't even come with a floppy disk
drive.
I'm trying to install the audio and network drivers for a T43p.
I've got the driver files from IBM's web site, but I do not have a
floppy disk drive handy, nor access to a machine with one for the
next two weeks, and I'd rather not wait that long to get the audio
and network features working.
Is there some way I can extract the files to hard disk? I tried
using VDISK.SYS to make a floppy-sized virtual drive, but it
didn't work, possibly because the maximum sector size allowed is
512 bytes, but 1.44 MB floppies have 1024 byte sectors.
