Help Imaging 5.25" Disks
Hello, I recently bought two 5.25" disks, but I don't have a 5.25" drive to access them!
If I cover the shipping, would someone be willing to image them for me? I'm in California.
It's an old development library for DOS, I doubt anybody else is interested, but happy to archive them if anyone is!
I've been working on writing new addins and drivers for Lotus 1-2-3 (link if you're interested), and think this code might be helpful.
Here's a picture.

I recommend to use Super Card Pro (SCP) to dump disks on modern Windows PC.
Because a few of disks has disk copy protection.
So to dump disks correctly, SCP is best solution.
You can use the UNIX "dd" utility like so: Set "if" to the device file pertinent to the drive you intend to copy from (your floppy drive in this case) and "of" to whatever path and filename you want for the image. Be careful not to get these reversed because it can overwrite and destroy the disk.
Thank you, forgot about dd. 👍🤠
But if this is copy protected, it will be possible to dump the whole disk by SCP .
