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 adapter- it's super fast. You want a DD 8"
drive like the 850, but if you created the disks on an 801 you should be
able to use it to image the disks to the modern PC.

If you want, send the disks to me as I have everything set up here.
Contact me directly if you need assistance. Every vintage computerian
ideally should have some sort of disk imaging station set up but if you
don't I or others here with such systems are probably happy to help.
