Archiving CP/M 2.2 Source Code Programs to a PC (Fat or NTFS media)

Hi Folks, I have many diskettes worth of CP/M 2.2 assembler source code and programs that I'd like to archive in the PC environment. I'm worried that my media is degrading and I want to move it before it's too late. The media is mostly 8" SD or DD, there are also some 5.25" HD diskettes too. I

CP/M disks, - if they're soft sectored - are just about the easiest non PC DOS format to image assuming you have the right set up. It takes me 20 seconds per disk with Dunfield's utility. I use a DBIT 50/34 pin adapter to convert a the 8" 50pin disk cable to a 34-pin 5 1/4" cable. With this

Hi Folks, Thank you all for the suggestions and feedback. I appreciate your help clearing my cobwebs. Let me answer a few of the questions that were asked. Both CP/M systems have serial ports so I'm good there. I likely have 50 pin to 34 pin floppy conversion cables as over time we moved
