Sounds like what you need is teledisk. It reads the disk in a bitwise
process an
saves the image as a file that can be used to recreate the original disk.
You can
get it at
ftp://ftp.rainingdata.com/freeware/teledisk.zip All you need is
a
drive that's compatable with the original disk(s).
Good Luck
