Got a console serial port on the CP/M system? You should be able to use a program like Kermit to suck up the files.
Something like this was going to be my suggestion, too. The original request was to archive the source files, not the disks themselves. Virtually every modem-type program (MODEM7, for example) has at least XModem, and of course there are tons of options for the PC end (PuTTY seems to be a popular choice).
Hopefully there's some serial port in the system, even if it's not the console. And you do remember how to write 8080 code and make CP/M calls, right? Worst case, since it's "Source" you're trying to archive, would be to write a simple program that just reads a file and blurts it out the serial port, with no handshaking at all. Running a serial capture on the PC would probably have very few, if any, errors.
