What is the popular opinion on the best way to store Apple II disks long
term? Is there something similar to Disk Copy to make images? If so, what
is the best way to transfer those to a Mac or PC for burning to CD?
Things I have that *might* make my life easier: Super Serial card for
II+/IIe, A IIgs with both 5.25 and 3.5 drives, A IIe Emulator for the Mac
LC and a 5.25 drive for it. As well as a few II+, IIe, IIc, and IIgs
machines.
Any hints (or "this is the best way" instructions) greatly appreciated.
Be kind, my Apple II knowledge is rusty, it has been years since I used
them.

The most popular way to transfer files from an A2 to a PC is through ADT
(Apple Disk Transfer). You can find a copy at :
http://tarnover.dyndns.org/Utilities/ADT/
(a little shameless self-promotion). You'll need a null modem cable,
and the Super Serial card you mentioned is useful. Complete
instructions on how to set up the hardware and use the app are included
in the zip file(s).
This subject comes up with some regularity at comp.sys.apple2, so if you
get stuck, you might ask there.
