You cannot dd, as that goes through the PC controller that,
likely, cannot read the disks.
CPM is an operating system that was ported to many very different
platforms, and those did not maintain compatible disk formats on
the very lowest levels.
Debian has a 'cpmtools' package which is described as allowing CP/M
filesystem access.
I do not know if it supports control of the floppy disk drive to read
the CP/M way the iron oxide.
A Google search also turned up some articles about the subject, I did
not read them.

Hi all,
Anyone have any ideas how to read (and obviously back up) my CPM 5.25
diskettes left over from my Kaypro 2x CPM machine used 1984-1987?
Somewhere I have a normal IBM PC compatible 5.25 drive, but CPM
floppies had different formatting, I think both in software and in the
iron oxide.
I'm
Completely off topic to the original question, but something I need for
my YouTube channel and project: Does anyone know how to buy actual
floppy disks? I'm talking about 5.25" floppy disks here, not the 3.5".
I need double density, but my Apple //e probably won't complain if I
feed it high
If it's IDE you might be able to connect a CF card to the old computer
with a CF<->IDE adapter? Not sure if a 1997 vintage IDE controller
would be up to this.

Hi,
1. Yes there are USB floppy external drives, and there are USB to SATA /
IDE / SCSI connectors
2. The following links aren't a recommendation, just the first things I
found based on what I know from Amazon / Local vendors in the US

What kind of diskettes?
5.25" diskettes
& 3.5" diskettes - there are USB based drives (I
actually have a 3.5" one).
8" diskettes - not as far as I know. But if somebody knows of a
place that can read them, I would like to know.
As to the old
I have a friend who has a PC, which got stuck in the late 1990's. This
Ethernet-less and Internet-less PC has old (circa 1997) RedHat Linux
installed on it and it uses floppy disks (diskettes) for backups.
Now the floppy disk drive seems to have gone out of order and my friend
will need to read
If you export the public pages to static content you can simply host it on
gitlab / github pages.
