In cases where the source remains available, in case of problems, nothing
can beat it for sneaker-net. It does not contribute noticeably to the
transfer speeds.

I don’t know much about the system itself but if it used one of
the typical IBM 8” diskette formats, you may be able to use IMD or Teledisk and
an appropriate multi-density floppy controller. I’ve had pretty good success

Hi,
I now have a number of uCode diskettes for my IBM 4331. I would somehow like
to image them so:
a) I have backups in case the floppies themselves go bad
b) be able to investigate their contents in case I have to “merge” the contents
of multiple floppies to
make a single good one

Consumer level SSD are, by specifics, guaranteed to retain data for 6 months
if unpowered... any more time means being lucky. Would suck to save, store,
and after some years find the data mangled
